Bouncy Springs Sound When Spinning

Hello,

Can you help - have I got a problem in the making?

I have a Hotpoint First edition 800 WM51, approximately 6 months ago a repairman replaced the brushes - all was fine until now ...... on the spin cycle I hear want I can only described as a clanking bouncing spring sound. If I move the drum back & forth from front to back it still makes the sound.

Sorry really don't know how to describe the noise. I have looked through the faq's and can't find a mention of a similar problem.

Is this a problem in the making and I will need to get a repairman or is it an age thing and i just have to live with it?

Other than that it is a good machine and I have been told easy to repair if needs be.

I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Sally
