Bosch series 8 washing machine noise
Hi. I have a Bosch series 8 washing machine that has developed a noise. I have checked and cleaned the filter, so no problem there. It only makes the noise when spinning. I have removed the back and from what I can hear it is coming from the motor. This makes sense as it’s only noisy when spinning and instantly stops when the drum start to slow down.
Any advice on what this could be / if I’m on the right track would be much appreciated.
Cheers

Hello there. Have you actually taken off the drive belt and run the motor separately to show conclusively that the noise is coming from the motor? It's an unusual noise for the motor.
