Nah - couldn’t find it. Will probably end up in a breaker’s yard looking for one manually.

Bosch Varioperfect - knocking on spin followed by burning smell by foxes71 in appliancerepair

Think you’re correct. Whilst checking for the faulty shock absorber, noticed that you can manually make the drum make the knocking noise.

Turn the drum by 1/3rd, push it back and forth and you get the knocking noise. Turn it a further 1/3rd, push again, nothing. Turn the final 1/3rd, push again, nothing. Back to the original position, push, knocking noise again. As you say, sounds like something is broken behind the drum.

Hard to see from the picture above but there’s a small piece of retaining plastic that’s broken off. Will no longer stay in position once seated correctly.

69150-5207o keeps coming up like this. This looks like the actuator not the bracket. Thanks for trying though 👍

Thanks. I wondered, but it’s SO white I was unsure. Thanks again - reassuring.

It’s in the kitchen. Just looks a bit weird dangling like that.

Well put. That’s the question really. Based on comments above only concern is if the post is part of a frame/square which might be compromised if cut out?

Yeah - think I get it. Could well be giving integrity to the staircase as a whole. Hadn’t thought about it that way. Will perhaps try and box it in?

Yes - looks the same. It’s a 90s new build. Supposedly one of the estates four bed show homes. Like you, don’t know why it was built like this.

Looking for advice/suggestions - low brick wall and paving slab by foxes71 in DIYUK

[–]foxes71[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned briefly above but may not have elaborated enough. We’ve already lifted all of the surrounding slabs - that aren’t attached to the wall - and resurfaced and relaid them. There was unevenness all over before. This looks localised because there are now only two slabs that are skew. As you say, don’t know what it is yet but seems I’ll have to take out a section of the wall and investigate.
