GE Profile Tub Bearing Failure

Washer spins but is extremely loud, with roaring or rumbling noise, especially at high speed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn rear tub bearings, Failed tub seal allowing water into bearings, Damaged drive shaft, Corroded bearing housing

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Bearing replacement is a major repair.

Confirm source: Spin the drum by hand. A rough, grinding feel or loud rumble indicates bearing issues.
Check for leaks: Look for water or rust streaks at the rear of the tub.
Plan repair: Bearing replacement on GE Profile front-loaders usually requires disassembling the tub and often replacing the entire rear tub assembly. This is typically a technician-level repair due to labor and special tools.
