Washer is very noisy during spin; loud rumbling or roaring sound

Safety first: Unplug the washer before disassembly. This repair is extensive and may be best left to a professional.

• Check for bearing play: With the door open, grasp the drum at the top and lift up and down. Excessive play or clunking indicates bearing wear.
• Spin drum by hand: Rotate the drum. A rough, grinding, or roaring sound confirms bearing failure.
• Inspect for leaks: Look for water or rust streaks at the rear of the tub, indicating a failed seal.
• Plan for tub/bearing replacement: On many Frigidaire front-loaders, the bearings are integrated into the rear tub half. Replacement requires removing the entire tub assembly, splitting it, and installing a new rear tub (and often a new drum spider).
• Consider cost vs. replacement: Due to labor and parts cost, evaluate whether replacing the washer is more economical.
