Hi,

My Indesit IS60V has been making a loud banging noise and also metal scraping sound.

I have taken semi circle plastic cover off back. Noticed loads of black soot like powder and a metal ball or bearing incased in metal disk (a little bigger than 5p). On other side to ball is a protruding cylinder shaped piece of metal (all part of the disc).

This part, was loose inside the plastic casing.

On looking at the machine, it seems the middle of drum should be held at this point. It looks like it has dropped down and maybe ground down the metal.

My questions: can I get this fixed, is it worth getting fixed ?

Many thanks

I had a similar problem with my Indesit dryer - it was squeeking and found the black soot at the back of machine. I documented my problem and fix here:-

Just sorted mine out today it was the bracket that holds the drum pin. I it had worn its way right thru it. I just turns it around and drilled a hole for the Alan key screw.

How do I rep lace indesit rear drum bearing model idv65

Sorted it!!!

Search eBay for is60v bearing kit. Approx £10.

You unscrew it from inside the drum and push the bar back through which will replace the piece in the back plastic cover which you have found to be loose.
