Greetings!

Nice to have this forum which I have used for many years! I appreciate you!

Two issues:

1. Banging during spin. It used to bang more at the beginning and end of the spin cycle. Now, it can bang off and on during the entire spin cycle. It still completes successfully with no error codes.

2. The door gasket has always been covered in mold or mildew. Cleaning does no good. I am going to replace it.

So, it sounds like I am in for a Saturday taking the washer apart. Anything else preventative that I should consider? Its older, but still faithful. Kinda like my wife.

Thanks!

Rick

Hi Rick,

Watch the video in the 1st post of this thread:

Does it sound like that?

If so, you will need new shocks:
Shock Absorber W11415987


You model uses those exact same shocks.
