How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Diagnosis:
- Spin by hand: Rotate the drum by hand. Roughness, grinding, or play (up/down) indicates bearing wear.
- Pulley check: Remove the rear panel and ensure the drum pulley bolt is tight.
Repair: Bearing replacement on Bauknecht washer-dryers usually requires splitting the tub and pressing in new bearings and a seal, or replacing the complete tub assembly. This is a complex repair often best left to a professional.
