Questions about this repair

Why does a washing machine shake and get noisy?

There can be several causes, such as worn dampers, an uneven floor or an unbalanced load. On this Miele the friction dampers were worn, so the drum was no longer held steady.

Can friction dampers be replaced on the same day?

On this job, yes. We supplied and fitted a genuine Miele friction damper kit on the same visit.
