Possible Causes

Worn rear tub bearings, Failed bearing seal allowing water ingress, Bent or damaged drum spider arm

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Bearing replacement involves major disassembly; consider professional service.

  • 1. Check drum play: With the door open, lift the inner drum up and down. Excessive movement or clunking indicates bearing wear.
  • 2. Spin by hand: Rotate the drum manually. A rough, grinding feel or loud rumble suggests failed bearings.
  • 3. Inspect for leaks at rear: Remove the rear panel and look for rust or water marks around the rear tub bearing area.
  • 4. Plan repair: Bearing replacement usually requires removing the entire tub and splitting it to access the bearing and seal kit. This is a complex repair best handled by an experienced technician.
