I have a Hoover washing machine, can't be any more than 4 years old and the drum has started making a grinding noise when it turns. Then today I noticed all my clothes smelt of burnt rubber when I took them out of the machine. There's no smell of burnt rubber outside the machine - just inside.
Any one have any ideas what it could be? I've checked the door seal and there's no damage to that so it's not that causing the smell.
I'd really hate to have to buy a new one as this is a good machine but I know how expensive repairs can be, it's often cheaper to buy new.
My OH is pretty much able to fix most things but without knowing what to actually look for it'll be a bit of a struggle.
Maybe someone knows of a repair guy that doesn't charge the earth?
