How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. Loud mechanical faults can worsen quickly; avoid repeated use until inspected.

  • Step 1 – Check for foreign objects: Rotate the drum slowly by hand. Scraping or clicking may indicate a bra wire or coin between drums. Access via heater or sump opening to remove.
  • Step 2 – Test bearing play: With the door open, lift the inner drum up and down. Excessive vertical play or grinding noise suggests bearing failure.
  • Step 3 – Inspect weights and suspension: Remove top and rear panels. Check concrete weights for cracks and tight bolts. Inspect shock absorbers for oil leaks or looseness; replace in pairs if worn.
  • Step 4 – Bearing repair: Bearing replacement on many Logik washer-dryers involves splitting or replacing the outer tub. This is a complex job usually best left to a professional or may require a complete tub assembly.
