I think I have a coin between inner and outer drum CE124. Do I need to remove it or just put up with it clanking on spin?

I think is the belt

The whole top of machine must be removed.
unplug electronics and hoses remove upper splash ring remove cap in center of agitator remove bolt holding down remove .
remove inner tub Nut center tube should lift up and out.
next step if your changing shaft is all from bottom.
lot more down there. Take picture b4 and as you remove for ref. to resemble

It does not go through the little holes in the drum, but there is a space between inner drum and outer solid drum. usually in spin cycle things like coins and sometime socks and underwear's will go through and end up in pump. If it does not drain properly, you need to openup hose from drum to pump and remove these items. That is not too difficult on most machines. It is at the bottom of the machine.

This is usually the result of built up residue being dislodged from where it has been lying (quite innocently and without any detrimental effects) between the inner and outer drums.

There will be 2 possible reasons for the residue to have been dislodged:

1) A coin or some other such object has fallen out of a pocket, got between the inner and outer drums, banged about a bit and dislodged the residue. If this is the case, the coin will (If it hasn't already) find its way into the empty pump's debris trap/filter, which you will need to clean out (No harm in doing this anyway and I will attach instructions below for you.

2) The drum bearings are failing allowing the inner drum to flop about more than it should, hit the outer drum and dislodge the residue (This scenario is bad news)

To clean the filter/debris trap:
Depending on the model (You have not stared make and model, so I can't be sure) there is either a round filter cap on the front of the machine at the bottom (It may be behind a small door or hidden behind a clip on panel on the bottom) Many models of this design also have a small hose to the right of the filter cap that you can pull out, remove a plug from and drain off any water in the filter before you remove the filter and get your floor wet, so take a look for this before you remove the filter and get soaked.

OR

You will need to access the debris trap from the back of the machine. If there is no filter at the front, pull the machine out and you will see a roughly oval panel at the bottom of the rear of the machine. Unscrew the 3 or 4 screws and unclip. Directly below the drum, you will now see a rubber "Cup" like bulge in the black pipe, with a plastic tube connected to a plastic pipe. The cup is held in place by a large jubilee clip. Unscrew the clip, pull off the rubber boot to expose the debris trap (A conical plastic cage with a ping pong ball in it) Take out the ball and the plastic trap, clean out the debris and replace the trap and the ball (Note that the cage may have a slot in it that locates in the rubber boot, make sure it lines up, or it won't reassemble correctly). Now push the boot back onto the fitting at the bottom of the drum where it came from and tighten up the jubilee clip, making sure that it is fitted correctly (it too may have a small slot out of it that fits around a protrusion on the bottom of the housing).

To check if your bearings have failed:
To test your bearings, open the door of the machine and by putting a little lifting pressure on the top of the inner drum, attempt to rock the stainless steel inner drum up and down.

The outer drum is mounted on springs and shock absorbers, so it will rock about (and it should do this) but the inner drum should not move up and down in relation to the outer drum. If there is a problem here, then symptoms will typically include:

A clonking noise as you lift and release the inner drum (this is the inner drum rattling on its bearings and/or hitting the outer drum)

You will have become aware of the spin cycle becoming far noisier recently and possibly even a grinding crunching noise when the machine spins

The drum may feel like something is crunching or stopping you turning it when you spin it by hand with the door open

A leak from under the machine, which you will probably be able to trace to the back of the machine, coming from the centre of the drum. This is the result of the failing bearing allowing water to escape through the seal at the rear

BEARINGS FAULTY

I'm sorry to say, that if the main bearings on the drum have failed, this is NOT a job for the uninitiated DIY enthusiast as it will mean stripping the machine and removing the drum from the chassis, splitting it, removing pressed in bearings and then sourcing and re-fitting new bearings.

To be frank, the cost of a bearing set (if they are replaceable, and most are) will be about £20 (($30) or so. But its a long and horrible job if you haven't done it before. I know professionals who claim they can do a bearing change in under an hour, I've done a few and it takes me about 2 hours by the time I

It sounds like
1.either your load is unbalanced, (redistribute the clothes), or
2.the drum bearing has failed, you can check this by seeing if there is play in the inner drum by moving it up and down against the outer drum, or
3. a shock absorber or spring has failed (when you wobble the drum around by hand it should spring back to the centre without any clanking or
4. Something has slipped between the 2 drums and is rattling about but that wouldn't really cause what I would describe as 'clanking' but more rattling.
Difficult to diagnose remotely but they are the main causes.
I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
I appreciate your vote if you appreciate my reply.

If the drum is loose and you can feel loose play when you lift the lip of the inner drum, you probably have bearing problems and/or a broken arm on the rear of the inner drum. However a coin caught between the inner and outer drums isn't good news either. Find a tech to diagnose and explain...Good luck.....Nomess

Yes, there is something trapped between the inner and outer drum, you could try removing the sump hose from the bottom of the drum, this will give you more room to fish about than possibly removing the heater. If you do remove the heater, you may not get it back in, then you will have to fit a new one.
The sump hose is the large hose fastened to the bottom of the outer tub.

not that easy.
remove top. remove water hoses.remove rear half of cabinet. to do this, undo securing screws along top flange, remove two screws at bottom sides hidden behind plastic plugs and two screws at bottom back. rear half of cabinet will then pull off.
remove heater - this is held with a 10mm nut in the centre which loosen and prise heater out.
you canb then see into the gap between tub and drum ane remove coin or whatever

If it is thumping... you have a broken spider on the inner stainless steel drum. Major defect with this machine. You'll need to call to get a new washer tub assembly... comes complete with inner stainless steel drum and outer plastic drum already assembled and ready to install. Good luck.!

u need to put something like a wooden hammer handle into the hole in the spider at the back when u have put it in spin the inner drum clock wise fast so it undos the spider or pulley wheel to some people once the spider is all the way off u need to put the nut back on just so it is level with the spindle with a rubber mallet strike it fast and hard and it will move the inner drum to come out once it comes so far out u need to undo the nut and remove the inner drum totally
