I bought a new front loader and when we tried it the first time it "walked" about three feet before it shut itself down (spin cycle) It made a hellish noise too! I was doubly scared because I thought that I'd bought a dud machine. I then read the manual and found the transport bolts that secure the drum mechanism while the machine is being shipped. Took them out and presto! One excellent machine. Sounds like they left the transport bolts in place.

Because the house was so small we kept the washing machine outdoors in a hutch. When the bearings died you could hear it even over Concorde passing overhead. I resolved never to buy another Indesit - when I took it apart to replace the bearings I found the plastic drum was glued shut so it had to be thrown away.

No-where and nowhere in the same paragraph? Is this British english? I noticed the aluminium. Cast iron or steel would prevent any screaming for help. “something strange was a foot” I’ve got two of them.
