Mend Hotpoint Belt Drum Machine Turn

Belt rubbing agsinst drum on WMA40 Hotpoint machine?

The belt is rubbing itself against the back of the drum, when i centre it again and then turn the drum, it moves back to start rubbing against the drum and making it difficult to spin! Any ideas?

Hi
If machine is noisy on spin, and if you feel any rumble when you turn the drum by hand then most likely it is a bearing failure which is throwing the drum off centre and causing the belt to move. If you think it is bearing failure then your best route to repair would be to take advantage of your Hotpoint 5 year parts cover. For £90 callout you will get a complete tub and drum replacement. More detail would be useful for a fuller answer.
