Very unbalanced rinse-spin AEG OKO LAVAMAT 72640

A vid showing the AEG Lavamat on the spin rinse, the machine has done this very unbalanced. This happens at 00:45, this kind of unbalanced this common on this machine and has done it from day one. Here the machine's drum has hit the glass door and has marked it, I now have a nice gash in the glass from the drum. The machine has done this a few times and it is 7 years old but is very reliable and has not given any problems at all. A friend of mine in Germany has the same problem with his AEG spinning and gashing the door. But it is scary though. At 1:26 the drum speed speeds up a little on the tumbles. The machine always does this on the cottons 60 and 50 degree cycle, when thers a small load in the machine the clothes are pinned to the edges of the drum - that doesnt happen here as the drum is full of items.

My old Hotpoint used to try and balance it would do 5 seconds of the inter spin perfectly and stop to try and trash some more it would do another 5 seconds not even getting up to 400 rpm's and stop. then go spastic and spin to full 1000 rpm without even trying to balance it in any way! The machine died because the spider snapped, so it balanced and spun, stopped went again nothing wrong, then went full 1000 snapped the spider.you could swear i had rocks my the amount of movement it made lol xxx

@boschlover1997 The AEG spinning full of water is normal on this machine as it is part of the rinse sequence. The drum hitting the glass isn't. Despite this though, the machine is as reliable as ever and has not been a problem since we purchased it in 2002.

Yeh my zanussi has a couple of marks on the door. Think its just something all Electrolux brands do lol :P Apart from its first few repairs when i got it (i think it was damaged in delivery) its prooved a very good machine apart from its unbalanced spins.

Yeah thats it. Its a very good machines, the only issue are the unbalanced spins. But despite the drum hitting the door and the noisy start ups to spin and finishing of the spin cycles, the machine is excellent.

[boschlover1997]

no i dont mean full of water i mean full to the brim of water lol and then the door burst open and the drum fell lol

[WashingMachine27]

Yeah my machine is excellent. Just wish it had a 30*C cottons wash thats all :\

Well its not a major issue. It can spin unbalanced as long as it keeps working. I remember a time when certain machines didn't have balance control and they lasted fine. Our old 1980s Servis used to jump across from where it stood on unbalanced spins, the AEG is pretty stable in comparison!! I'm happy with it. Thanks.

Well that's really good but in future the machine needs to give u balancing trash before spins like that one! If it was going to jump around when it did spin. Thanks for replying to my comment.
