My Beko had the same problem. It turned out to be a broken seal and bearings on the bowl (peice holding the clothes). Anyway, the repair was going to be £70 for a local technician and £20-30 for me on parts. It takes quite a bit of diassembly on mine, as well as a bit of hammering (to get out the old bearings. You need to seal them proerly too. I decided not to fix it and get another one.... check into parts at www.espares.co.uk. Good luck. JC
