    You could try pressing on various places during the spin cycle, see if you can damp it. Try adjusting the legs? After 20 minutes the other day trying to adjust the feet to stop the vibration in my own I just stuck a folded strip of rubber between it and the cupboard and that sorted it.

    Just a spring clamp holding that on.

    If you turn the drum by hand can you hear and/or feel the noise ?

    It sounds like the drum is rubbing on something,but if that was the case,I would think it would be there from the start.....it starts ok.

    It sounds like you have something that has slipped down between the rubber and the drum, if thats the case you should feel it there if you turn it by hand ?

    I took off the front of the seal today and rolled it back into the drum to have a good feel around,to make sure it was ok there.I didnt see or feel anything .I will have another check tomorrow.

    If thats the case a strong magnet will help remove it.
