Washer-dryer racket

    I have a Tricity Bendix washer-dryer 11 years old that has started making a racket in the spin cycle. The drum shakes like crazy. I reckon it's the bearings that need to be replaced (if not more). Plus in the drying cycle it makes a humming noise that wasn't there before. My question is: is it worth trying to get it fixed considering the age? I think it would be more cost-effective to replace it altogether but I just want to get your opinion. Tx

    Have you had calls out on it before?I myself would get a new one at that age.

    Just once about 4-5 years ago to change the pump, it had stopped draining.

    Give a service man a call and just see what he reckons. If more than about 12-140,I'd say new machine. If under that and you're still happy with the overall performance of the machine,it could be worth repairing as there's been little wrong with it. But if the drum is gone it might not be worth your while.

    Those babies have a life span of 5 years upper end 8 years. You are doing well. A new machine could be an option. You'll avoid repair fees and benefit from better efficiency in a new machine.
