How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspection. Spinning components can be hazardous.

Check drum play: With the door open, lift the inner drum up and down. Excessive movement or clunking indicates bearing or spider issues.
Listen during spin: Run a spin-only cycle and listen from the rear. A deep rumble that increases with speed is typical of bearing failure.
Plan for major repair: Replacing the rear tub bearing on Frigidaire combos usually requires removing the drum and often replacing the entire rear tub assembly. This is a complex repair best handled by an experienced technician.
Stop using if severe: Continued use with failed bearings can damage the tub and motor.

Washer-dryer combo is very noisy during spin; loud rumbling, roaring, or grinding from the rear of the unit.
