front loader

Hi all, I just got this machine for free. It does everything it’s supposed to, but it makes violent noises and “walks” across the floor, especially once in the rinse/spin stage. I believe it’s just drum bearings, but wanted opinions since this is the first washer repair I’ve ever been about to...

On the third clean cycle (150 wash cycles) of my relatively new washing machine, water began to leak from the bottom of the washer. I pulled the back access panel off and saw that it was coming from somewhere close to the dispenser housing. I assumed the dispenser-to-tub hose blew so I pulled...

So my dryer has been giving a horrendous squeal lately. It seems to come and go, and doesn't seem to effect it's ability to dry at all(yet). I suspect it's a bearing or tensioner, but I thought I might get some advice before digging into it and replacing parts. It squeaks when the dryer rotates...

Trying to help my mom fix her washer, front loader, model # in title. She called me up saying it wouldn't fill with water. The symptoms I observed are when attempting to start any cycle: the door locks, it makes a couple of faint clicks, then it sounds like the drain pump runs for a few...

The display turns on like normal and selecting the type of cycle works fine. After pressing the start button there is the common starting noise (like the drain pump), followed by the lock of the door. Then the drain pump sound runs a bit more, the door unlocks, and then nothing. The washer just...

Thanks again for helping fix our GE front loader! Hope we can do it again ... My cousin's Kenmore front loader apparently won't lock the door. She tells me that the Sears Home Services repairman installed a new lock mechanism but that didn't fix the problem. The door won't lock, no light and...

I just bought a dented maytag MHW7100DC0 at Best Buy last night. It was scratched on top and had a couple of reasonable dents on the sides, nothing penetrating. Brought it home and wrestled it into my house (by myself, that was fun) and got everything hooked up. I started with my first load...

Just bought a used Whirlpool Duet W/D. Suddenly Washer is shaking like crazy (internal) on the spin cycle and making LOUD banging sound. Help and thanks!

Wacky Washer, before calling the Technician- wondering if it is the Panel. thank you for your input it is greatly appreciated!! - The front loader will power On. - I only use 2 wash settings, it will not start or wash these wash settings: colors/reg wash or whites. the door locks, that is it. -...

In short: Changed the tub bearings and shock absorbers. After a handfull of washes- machine stopped reliably going into final spin. Halfing the load will usually get it to go into final spin. (Which was never required before this issue started) Changing the motor control board did not fix the...

Hi, Jake. I am stumped. I have a Kenmore Front Loader that does not high speed spin. It hums instead of spinning. I have taken apart the the pump. Front right. I cleaned out the trap of coins. I reassembled the pump. There is water in the tub when it should be spinning. I disconnected the...

I am having a problem with my washer, it appears to be the spin cycle (super fast cycle... basin turns and spins but not at rapid speed), but I am not 100% sure. Ultra fast spin under diagnostic cycle but not with clothes... unit is balanced front to back and side to side. Ran the 4 seconds on...

Hi everyone. Following the service manual for my front loading GE washer, I entered temp, e-wash, temp, e-wash to get into service mode. The door locked, as it should, but proceeded to stay that way while it sounded like my drain pump began making noise. After about 2-3 minutes of this, my...

Hi guys I really need your help. Around six weeks ago, my over ten year old front loader washer broke. It's a Sears Kenmore, Model # 417.41142000, Serial XC14802821. Now the complicated part: It's a stackable unit, placed under a matching Sears Kenmore dryer, Model # 417.81142000, Serial...

First off, props to this forum and website, it has helped me debug my current issue more than I could have imagined with helpful links and pictures. I have a WFW9400SW03 Whirlpool washer that is barely 1.5 years old. I got an F11 error code about two weeks ago and started searching online to...

Hello folks, Our Kenmore front loader washing began began messing up a couple of weeks ago occasionally, but now it does it alsmost every time we try. A new cycle would start, and about half way into it the cycle would stop, and all the lights around the main cycle selector knob would start...

I have a Sears Kenmore Tumble Action Washer (Front Loader) Which produced a loud thump/snapping, and then made the most awful screeching grinding sound in the final portion of the spin cycle "fast". :eek: Really, it sounded like an airplane was going to crash into our house. Stopping the...
