    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.....

Also the large round spring that holds the seal in place between basket and door. Please demonstrate how to Remove it and more importantly how to put it back. Please I need your help. Thanking you in advance Sir.

    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!

    • @MikkoRantalainen
      @MikkoRantalainen 3 роки тому

      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.

    Why are all these videos nowadays accompanied by IRRATATING noise? It's not music, just a few repetitive notes-over & over again. DISTRACTING from listening to the presenter or hearing the sounds to identify faults in this case. I'd rather hear the natural sounds or nothing at all.

    My front load whirlpool makes a bearing type noise the first 30 seconds of the day of using it. After that it never happens again the whole day. What gives? Does the motor need warming up or something?

  • @lisav6533
    @lisav6533 5 місяців тому

    What would cause a humming noise from the motor that's just unusually loud during spin cycle? Not necessarily abnormal in character per se, but definitely abnormally loud. No grinding or knocking or any other sound. But I've heard very loud machines in the past, but none like this one.
    P.S. the machine is fairly new. I rent, it was used by the previous tenant, don't know if this is a new development or not.

It seemed to happen after I was trying to clean the fluid paths making sure water could flow and lint was not building up. Could I have pushed something into the bearings? Is it possible to clean?

    Hi Thanks for the detailed troubleshooting, but I still can't figure out the cause of the scratching noise of my machine...Recently, my front loader produces some sort of scratching sounds when it’s on the washing cycle when it spins slowly. No such sound is produced in the spinning cycle when it spins at high speed. I tried to check the drum after I took the clothes out but couldn’t anything stuck in it. Any ideas for the reason?

    • @partselect
      @partselect  2 роки тому

      It is possible there is something between the inner and outer tub causing that sound.. At high speed the item is being pushed out of contact by centrifugal force. Is it every load or an occasional one you are hearing this noise? What model of machine do you have and how old is it?

    • @lilylin4019
      @lilylin4019 2 роки тому

    Mine makes a squeaking noise of drum rubbing against seal and goes Da Dum Da Dum when I spin the drum. The drum freely turns with no problems. It won't spin off properly and the clothes are wringing wet when I open the door. I checked the belt and everything mentioned in this video and I still can't work out what the problem is. Nothing in the seal and the filter's clean. The machine's only 4 years old, so probably not the bearings. Also I never overload it, so I've no idea what to do with it.
