Possible Causes
Worn rear drum bearings, Failed bearing seal allowing water ingress, Worn or misaligned drive belt, Motor bearing wear
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before spinning the drum by hand.
- Manual drum test: Spin the drum by hand. A rough, grinding feel or rumbling noise indicates bearing wear.
- Check for play: Try lifting the drum up and down at the front. Excessive movement suggests failed bearings.
- Inspect belt: Remove the rear panel and check the belt for glazing or fraying. Replace if worn.
- Plan bearing repair: Replacing drum bearings on many Hisense models requires removing the tub and often replacing the entire rear tub half or complete tub assembly. This is a complex repair usually best left to a professional.
