An small object has become trapped inside the drum. How do we get access to the drum to remove it.

If the drum of your Indesit IWC5085 washing machine is jammed, there are a number of methods you can try to take to address the problem:

Look for tiny objects: Look for tiny objects that could be lodged in the drum, such as coins or buttons.
They may result in the drum becoming blocked and impair its ability to spin.

Inspect the filter: Look inside the washing machine's bottom-mounted filter for any particles or anything that might be the obstruction.
Remove the kick plate from the washing machine's bottom to gain access to the filter.

Inspect the pump: Look for any obstructions or blockages in the washing machine's bottom-mounted pump. Remove the kick plate from the washing machine's bottom to gain access to the pump. If there is a clog, remove it with care before attempting to restart the washing machine. If the drum isn't spinning at all, check the belt. It could be loose or broken. Unplug the washing machine and take off the back panel to inspect the belt. Check the belt for any indications of wear or damage. The belt must be replaced if it is damaged or loose.

It could be required to seek the aid of a qualified repair technician if none of these measures succeed in fixing the problem.

I would suggest that a small thin metal item has got into the outer drum unit. This is the space between the internal spinning drum and the outer casing. This can sometimes happen by the object passing between the rubber door seal and the drum. Not easy to get out, however if it is small enough it may eventually find its way into the pump filter trap. There is a small round cover plate at the bottom right hand side of the machine. Behind the cover is the filter trap, open it up (when machine empty) and check for the object every so often. To open the filter turn the plug cover about a third anticlockwise and it should release. Pull gentle on the plug to remove from the machine.

These drums ride on bearings. Remove the back cover of the dryer and then remove the cabinet from the frame, tub and motor assembly. Reposition the tub for the bearings and reinstall. time est 30 min.

Good Morning Deanna - Sounds like you are speaking about the Coin Trap. Below are some basic troubleshooting steps you may wish to follow to clean the trap:
· Unplug the unit.
· Remove the bottom front access panel. There are two screws one on right and one on the left towards the bottom of the front panel.
· Now that the panel is removed look inside on the bottom right hand side there is a black looking accordion thing. This is the coin trap.
· Clean the drum out with as much water as possible that you can remove and have towels ready. The next step you will have the remaining water come out of the bottom of the drum and onto the floor.
· At the top of the coin trap where it is attached to the drum is a silver spring with a silver screw. Loosen the screw and wiggle the coin trap down from the drum.
· Reach inside the coin trap and clean what is inside of it out.
· Put the unit back together following the same steps backwards.
Hope this information proves to be helpful!

Good Afternoon Brenda - Generally speaking, washer machines do not have a filter. Depending on your particular model the unit may have a coin trap. Below are some basic troubleshooting steps you may wish to follow to locate and clean the coin trap:

• Unplug the unit.
• Remove the bottom front access panel. There are two screws one on right and one on the left towards the bottom of the front panel.
• Now that the panel is removed look inside on the bottom right hand side there is a black looking accordion thing. This is the coin trap.
• Clean the drum out with as much water as possible that you can remove and have towels ready. The next step you will have the remaining water come out of the bottom of the drum and onto the floor.
• At the top of the coin trap where it is attached to the drum is a silver spring with a silver screw. Loosen the screw and wiggle the coin trap down from the drum.
• Reach inside the coin trap and clean what is inside of it out.
• Put the unit back together following the same steps backwards.

If it sounds like a penny in the drum, it probably IS a penny in the drum, or some other object from someone's pocket. There are ways to deal with this. If like me you trust yourself to do it and you're convinced that the object in not going to come loose by its self and fall into the filter designed to catch these things, you CAN cross the line between bravery and foolishness: Empty the machine disconnect from mains and water, lift it between 2 chairs with the front load door dangling down and spin the drum until the object falls out onto the floor.....

If you're not quite that crazy and don't want to undertake this very dubious procedure, for which I refuse to vouch or take any responsibility, then you can let nature take its course. Most machines have a filter that objects eventually fall into. You can wait for it to find its way there (the noise will probably stop in the end) and then remove it from the filter. You haven't said what make and model machine you have, so here are some filter cleaning instructions that cover MOST models:


Locate and clean the filter. Depending on the model, 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

Hi.

Access the drain pump and undo the hose connected to drain pump. In there you find an object trap. If there are coins or other small objects, that can be the reason for the noise.

Have also a look at the drum bearing, that is the most common cause for noise on the spin part of the cycle.

I need more details but typically a dryer will make a rhythmic rattling noise when loose change and other small metallic objects as well as buttons become trapped in the tumbler impellers (those wing shaped things in dryers).
Loosen and remove the top of your dryer.
Rotate your drum, taking care not to rotate it the wrong way. The right direction of rotation will produce friction to the belt, the wrong direction will cause slack on the belt on one side or the other of the drum.
Rotate the drum until the back side of the impeller is directly on top with the outer screws facing you at the top of the dryer. Remove the screws and pull out the impeller and you will find your noise makers. Do this with the remaining impellers and reinstall.

Sounds like the belt is slipping,
Did you hear a humming noise or any other kind of unusual noises coming from the dryer at the start up or after?
If it makes a humming noise, most likely the problem is a bad motor which has to be replaced in such a situation.
If it makes noises but not a humming one then the problem could be with the worn out drum support rollers and/or the idler pulley.

To get access to all the parts inside the dryer, remove two screws at the lint screen slot and using a putty knife, push and pry the clip on each side in front of the top panel to release the holding clips. Lift up the top panel until it rests on the hinges. Unplug the quick disconnect plug for the door switch. Remove a screw from each side of the front panel. Pull the front panel up and toward yourself to release it from the retainer clips. Looking under the drum you'll find the idler pulley with the belt. Draw a picture of the belt that goes through the idler pulley onto the motor pulley so you will know how to assemble it back. Remove the belt and pull out the drum. Now you have access to all parts inside the dryer. the parts you will see are The motor ,The belt,The drum support rollers,The idler pulley. ------ also check the lint trap in the bottom of the dryer.if any foreign object or metal object like coin or broken pen or a cloth is got jammed in the lint trap that this will stop the drum from rotating to its normal speed.you can get required parts from.www.repairclinic.com this will help.thanks.

You should be able to just remove the back cover and should have access to everything around the drum.
