Our Hotpont WT540 washer is now about 2 years old and gets a full load every other day. It quickly lost it's "silent" running but it has settled down to be very reliable - not silent, but still very quiet. Recently it developed a worsening thumping which, on spin began to sound like a low flying helicopter. This cotinued to worsen to the point where I could stand it no longer. I had a quik look underneath and cured it by tightening up the bolts fixing the concrete block to the bottom front of the drum. It is a bit awkward loosening the front cover enough to get a spanner in, but 1/2 hour later it seems to have cured the noise. Fingers crossed.....
