She’s been a good washer until tonight.
It started it’s spin cycle and began banging around pretty badly. I adjusted the load to be better balanced, closed the lid and it kept banging (the drum only, the cabinet stayed still)
I removed the clothing and started at the rinse cycle. It filled, agitated and drained and then when the spin was supposed to occur it just made a loud noise (a grating, metal on metal sound).
I opened the lid and depressed the latch button to see what was happening. The drum moved about an 1/8" at a time, like it was ratching around and made that same noise.
So, any ideas? It’s direct drive from what I’ve gathered.
I’m a carpenter by trade and really don’t get along with machinery, but given the economy, I’m gonna have to go the DIY if at all possible.
Thanks in advance
Hi Matt,
Remove the washer cabinet (instructions attached) and inspect the drum suspension. Post the results.
