Hi guys,
We have a Zanussi Washer-Dryer WJS 1397 W.
I wonder if you could give me some advice. The other day it made a big thumping noise while it was in its last spinning cycle.
When we went to check and opened the w/m door the top part of the circular cement balance weight, which surrounds the drum, collapsed inward. It looks like it got cracked too in one part.
Luckily the water was already all drained out so that didn't cause a flood at least.
I have taken a couple of pictures which show the top part of the circular cement weight trapped between the w/m door seal and the drum itself -please look below.
Does anyone have an idea if I should attempt to fix this problem or if I should just buy a new appliance?
If you think it is fixable do you have any idea how? I checked previous posts but couldn't find a similar problem.
Just in case I have also taken a picture of the top part of the w/m, once I took the cover off. As you can see it is all assembled very tightly so it's not so easy to get access - please see picture below.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks!
