      Seriously! This is my question too. I can't find my ge washing machine 'creaking sound' anywhere. Even when I spin it by hand it makes a low creak. Seems to happen when the whole inner tub shakes from center mass. Almost like plastic rubbing

      Because all new washer are crap! My last Kenmore lasted over 20 years! Not 1 repair. I JUST had every part replaced on my 2 year old GE washer, motor/tranny,seals/bearings, and it still sounds like a train is coming into the house on the spin cycle! PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE!

      It’s the plastic end of the 4 anchors that keep the basket in the air. Pop off the top of the lid and you’ll see them. They are a pale blue if I remember correctly. Spray wd40 then use a long clamping-wrench to rotate the bar (it’s the only place you can barely grab) so that the lubricant gets into the socket. It doesn’t need to be turned 360°, just make sure to get enough. Don’t forget to slide a paper towel or 2 under each corner you do because it’s basically hollow till the floor. I had not problem after that. It will still make some noise every once in a while, but that was so much easier and cheeper than if you called someone to fix it. They’d probably want you to take out the drum and replace the 4, which is not worth it money wise.
      Let me know-Cheers!

My MIL owned it before us so it's not new. It's had one problem that we fixed via an internet repairman. But, you didn't address this problem. I have subscribed so I can access all the videos.

    Once upon a time a washer and dryer would last decades. Whirlpool bought up the competition (still uses brand names). Our Whirlpool HE has the squealing belt problem after two years. I was suspicious that two weeks after buying the unit, Whirlpool sends ads to buy the overpriced three year extended warranty.

    ge washer gtw465 (from 2019) loud banging and knocking during spin cycle with sheets on "towels/sheets" setting, goes away when switched to "bulky". I looked on your website, the washer model was not there. anybody else have this problem? any advice please? washer fairly new, less than a year old. only happens with bigger/heavier items, but those sheets were not that big that they needed to be set on bulky...

    • @Znew07
      @Znew07 2 роки тому

      Sounds like it was just out of balance. Pause the machine, open the lid and evenly rearrange the sheets around the tub so the weight is spread evenly. Usually bulky items tend to weigh to one side after agitation, then when it spins it is off balance and the tub hits the sides of the washer walls.

    hi i have an Amana washing machine not digital about 4 years old that was working: filled, spun, and drained but was making a lot of noise when agitating.I popped off the cap. It was a one piece agitator with one bolt so i used a socket wrench with a 7/16 nut. uscrewed it removed the agitator, checked it under the light for any ground teeth, rotated and rocked the inner drum side to side and all around: there is supposed to be a lot of room(5 inches in eather direction) and picked up/put down the drum from neck about a half an inch.Rotated the drum then put the agitator back, tightened the bolt and now it is quiet hope this helps

    Hi, I have a Whirlpool Washer Model: WTW50000W1. A few weeks ago we started hearing a sound similar to bearings or beads from a badazled shirt of one of our kids. The sound happens when the washer is draining I think. I hear it spinning as well. I did pull the cap to the white cover agitator at the bottom of the bowl. It was clean as a whistle. Any Ideas or recommendations. I did see a video about the pump could cause sounds but it did not give examples. The sound is not loud. Just annoying. The washer works properly. It would not be cost effective to hire a repair person. I'd like to fix it myself if possible. The unit is 4 years old.

    • @xsietube
      @xsietube 3 роки тому

      Sounds like something got in the drain pump. It’s fairly easy to remove and see if that’s the problem. Better to extract whatever it is before it damages an impeller. When the pump fails, your wash water won’t drain properly and can dump out the bottom of the washer. Pumps are fairly cheap if you need to replace.

      It could be. It could also be that you overloaded your machine. Try it with very few articles of light clothing (like underwear or t-shirts) and avoid putting in heavy things like blankets, towels, or rugs. If it doesn't bang during the spin cycle, you know you overloaded your machine. If it does bang, then your springs could be loose or broken. I hope this helps!
