shibumi 1 Report post Posted February 24, 2016 Hi fellows. I have been randomly experiencing this loud mechanical "whacking"? sound from my Hitachi BD-W85TV: In the instance of the video above, it occurs during the Rinsing stage (& not the Spin-dry stage). The machine is a front-load. Anybody with Hitachi WM care to educate me on what's going on? Is there some mechanical fault? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
