i have exactly the same problem but it only happened two months after i had the drum replaced by the gias repair group.now i have a problem as well with handle as the door wont open,so be careful with the handle.we have alwys had problems with the door sometimes the door would lock sometimes it wouldnt.this machine is rubbish ,iwish i had never bought it.the guy from gias never even levelled the machine when he put it back when i think you are supposed to!
