Miele Drum Bearing Wear

Washer is very noisy during spin, rumbling or roaring sound

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 drum bearings, Failed bearing seal allowing water ingress, Loose drum pulley, Damaged spider (drum support)

Safety first: Unplug the washer.

Spin by hand: Rotate the empty drum by hand. A rough, grinding feel or loud rumble indicates bearing wear.
Check for play: Lift the drum up and down at the front. Excessive movement suggests bearing or spider failure.
Inspect pulley: Remove rear panel and ensure the drum pulley bolt is tight.
Plan for major repair: Bearing replacement on Miele machines is a complex job often involving tub removal and press work. This is typically a professional repair.
