The W1612 is a smaller Novotronic machine, and its compact cabinet means the drum has less room to move before it makes contact. Worn dampers therefore announce themselves sooner and more loudly on this model than on a full-size washer, which is genuinely useful: the machine tells you about suspension wear long before it does any harm to the bearings. Attending to it promptly is what keeps these running for decades.
