Hi, the drum is totally stuck on our machine. It ran through a wash cycle, drained out most of the water (nothing left in the machine now) but will not spin (or move) at all. Any suggestions? Many Thanks

The machine is about 6 years old, an Indesit. There was a loud bang and as the spinning continued I could see the side of the machine bulging as the drum banged against it. Very scary! The drum is now lower than normal and to one side. Can it be fixed or should I just buy a new one? Thanks!

It is one leg of a pair of jeans wedged between the drum and outside, when I pull- they won’t budge. What do I need to do to get them out? Do I unscrew the back of the washer? Or something else?

I wen’t to go get the laundry out of the washing machine today and noticed that the drum was way to the back of the machine. I can not get the drum to sit straight. I have tried to pull it back into place but it will not go back. It still works fine, spins makes no noises, realy cleans the cloths just as well. Its just you can see the outside of the drum. How do I fix this?

I use Ponds and a hot washcloth to remove my makeup and when I wash these cloths separately, it leaves a film line in the wash drum. I have tried hot water, cold water, tried to wipe down the tub, washed with bleach, vinegar, just soap and selected different levels of water. I now have a pretty good build up of scum.The manual does not address this problem and online to the manufacturer has not helped. HELP!
