I have an LG 7kg intello washer 3,4 years old, works well but when it spins fast it makes a horrible rubbing noise that increases i n frequency as the drum speeds up, it can move about a bit too, Im sure the drum is off balance, bearings are gone, maybe both. I haven't opened it up to have a look can anyo ne advise please ?

remove rear panel 4 self tappimg screws see if there is any play in the motor, pinch the small pulley of the motor and see if there is any sideplay if there is any play you will need new motor drum bearings dont usually go motor normally goes first.

good luck

bearings can be replaced but its a BIG DIY job or an expensive callout/repair
