Delivery took place without problems at desired date. AltgerÃĪtentsorgung and installation went smoothly, unfortunately overlooked the carrier during removal, as mentioned already in other customer that portions of the styrofoam packaging were still down in the machine between drum and housing. After a few loud squealing washes I remembered those review and looked at the mirror times and discovered the problem. It was fortunate that the drum is still running around. Now it runs quietly, does not smell, washes and throws very well in my opinion.
