This issue has been causing me a headache and already cost £60 call out for an engineer who simply said there is no fault. This left me a dispute with the company I booked the engineer with.
Basically, my Eco Bubble makes a loud whirring noise just after the start of a cycle.
Example. Daily Wash is for 1 hour 2 minutes, the noise will start at approx 58 minutes and run for about 10 minutes.
As a general rule, we look after the machine. Descale regularly, run the eco drum clean each time it's requested and clear the filter.
My investigations thus far:
No noise when:
- Spin only.
- Rinse & spin.
- On watering entering.
- When draining.
- Turning drum by hand.
Worth noting:
- Water still gets hot.
- Noise started after machine ran a cycle on hottest day of the year. (in hindsight shouldn't done this)
Only thing I can think of is that it's what ever Samsung has in the machine that accounts for the "Eco Bubble", the aerator. I assume some kind of pump.
If anyone can suggest what the issue could be or if my suspicions are correct, I'd appreciate it muchly. If anyone can name the part that's playing up that would also be appreciated as I cannot for the life of me find any reference to the "Eco Bubble" part anywhere!
Many thanks in advance.
