I can't thank you enough! I had a very loud noise during fast spin cycle. I cleaned out the drain pump trap and found nothing. After watching your video, I went back to the drain pump and looked inside. WOW there was a twist tie stuck further in. You saved me a BIG bill. THANKS AGAIN!

OH THANK YOU! Shined a light through the outer drum and saw (from inside the basket) what looked liked a pen laying over the top of the drain. Removed the rear panel and pulled the drain hose. Managed to extract a nail set...not a pen. Was randomly making quite a racket! Thanks SO much!

Thank you so much for this video. Thought that the bearing was gone and followed your advice in the video and it turns out that one of the tub supports had worked loose. I tightened the securing screws and finally peace and quiet! Thought we were going to have to replace the machine and had gone around the stores looking for a new machine. Now that its fixed I have told my wife that we should get another 12 years service! Not sure she's a pleased as I am! Brilliant instructions!

Excellent video! Very helpful! Sadly I either have a bad set of bearings or the tub support is broken. The tub does not spin freely, is loose when I push from the front to the rear, and has a burnt rubber/plastic smell - the wet clothes actually smell like burnt plastic. Argh.....

Was about to take my machine apart due to the grinding noise between the drum and the tub. Decided to hold off until I inquire if my unit is still under warranty. They were close when I called. Decided to search the web for causes. Came across this vid. Finish nail on the back of the drum, not on the side as I expected at first may be caught between the drum and the tub. Saved me a lot of work.

@matthewmiller6068 Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure this helped me solve the noise but it did at least help me identify some things that it is not, so I very much appreciate that. I have an odd clunking almost like an out of balance sound but it looks perfectly balanced only at medium spin speeds and oddly worse with a empty load (like tub clean mode). Doesn't seem to have any play like you describe for bad support or bearing, although ever since we've lived here the drum does not spin super freely but is extremely smooth...though it's also the only front loading washer that I've ever used which made me think that's normal.

I have a GE front loader I bought back in 2007. Yesterday it briefly made 3 loud thumps while at low spin cycle and then a series of smaller thumps and when I looked at the left side, it looked like something from the inside was hitting against it. I saw it bulge out as it was making the lesser thumping sound. The thumping then went away at spin cycle. Is it worth fixing or should I get a new one?

If you've just installed or moved the washing machine you should check if it is level. That was my problem. It was so noisy during the spin cycle.

This should be the first thing to try. Most modern machines are designed to be perfectly level orientation and have adjustable feet to allow that. If the machine is tilted, the suspension doesn't work correctly.
