[LEFT]I dont know if this was always the case but recently it caught my attention that after spinning and draining the water, the whirlpool washer makes a clang noise when its about to stop spinning.[/LEFT]

[LEFT]Is this normal?[/LEFT]

[LEFT]thanks[/LEFT]

If the tub tumbles when spin starts to stop, you have sticking brake shoes. The clang could be a loose drive block that attaches the spin basket to the spin tube.

What do you mean by tumbles??

Let me try to elaborate a bit more. It spins fine and removes all the water as it should. When the spinning cycle is done, it makes one clang noise and then comes to a normal stop. Its just one noise and it only happens when the spin cyle is over.

Let me know your thoughts and whether this is something that should be repaired or ignored.

thanks

Hello Everyone,
I am helping out someone in our church try to repair the oven, and could use a little navigation from a maint/service manual to help save time. Is there somebody out there that can email or point me in the right direction of one? The model is PRG 486EDG-09. I have not looked at it yet, but he told me the element dosent work on "Bake", but does work when on "Broil".

Thanks for any advice you have.
