Washer-dryer combo is very noisy during spin; loud rumbling or grinding sound from drum area.

Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing panels. Do not operate the machine with severe bearing noise as further damage can occur.

• Check for play: Open the door and lift the inner drum up and down. Excessive movement or clunking indicates bearing or spider failure.
• Spin by hand: Rotate the drum manually. A rough, grinding feel or metallic scraping confirms bearing issues.
• Inspect pulley: Remove the rear panel and check that the drum pulley bolt is tight and the pulley is not cracked.
• Plan repair: Bearing and spider replacement on Danby combos typically requires splitting the outer tub and is a major repair. Consider cost vs. replacement of the appliance.
• Professional service: Due to the complexity and need for special tools, bearing replacement is usually best handled by an experienced technician.
