SOURCE: Noise at end of spin cycle

Sounds like the drive block is defective. The drive bloce is a aluminum part that attaches the drun to the gearcase. If you remove the agitator you will see a large nut on top of the basket. If the drive block is worn yo will see aluminum peices on top. It is very simle to relace. You will need a spanner wrench to remove the nut. With the nut removed lift the spin basket up and out. Remove the block. You will see that the new block will only fit on one way. Tap it down untill it will not go any further, replace the basket, make sure you tighten the nut securly replace the agitator and you will be back washing.

SOURCE: Drum came loose on Fridgedaire front loader on final spin cycle.

What was the point of posting this on the site?

The drum has broken loose from the support plate at the rear

You need a new drum and a support plate plus probably an outer shell.

A complaint to the manufacturer may get you a deal on a replacement

SOURCE: I have a 6 year old Bosch Exxcel 1100 front loader

it will more than likely be a bra wire caught in the filter it has happened to me twice. you may be able to get to it from the front opening (bottom right) but probably will have to manualy drain it then tip it back as far as it will go safely against something then underneath attached to the rear of the filter and onto the drum is a fat black rubber tube. remove this it is held in place vie a clip and a small star spangled screw once off you should be able to delve in and find your problem good luck

SOURCE: vibration during the spin cycle

It appears your tub rollers or gliders have failed in this instance.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.

Why does my washing machine not complete a rinse & spin cylcle?

is it a top loader? if so, older top loaders do not have a balancing function so you must evenly distribute the load.

Seems to always be out of balance on Spin Cycle even after taking great care to distribute clothes evenly around the tub.

If you take off the front panel you should see rubber straps on 4 sides an they sturdy the drum when spinning. It's probably rusted out like mine was. If it's a top loader.

Washing machine jumps on rinse cycle

Good evening to you!
It only jumps while rinsing??
Not when spinning? It could be that the washing is not evenly distributed in the machine, then some of them jump.
Does it always jump when rinsing?
Pay attention to how the washing is distributed.

My washer makes a horrible noise in the final spin cycle on all washes

does ur washer shake & move also? if so, it may be that the loads r too small. especially with top loaders, when the machines not full, the clothes r not evenly distributed and that could do it. if u stop the cycle and evenly distribute the clothes, it should stop. hope that helps.

I have a SIMPSON ENCORE 555 heavy duty washing machine. It will do a normal wash cycle, but when it comes to the spin cycle, it doesn't distribute the washing around the drum and hence won't spin. any...

Hi just read your posting.Now does the washing tangle around the agitator?In your posting you mentioned the washing not distributing around the drum.Could you confirm that your machine is a top loader for me,because the word "drum and distribute" are terms for a front loader.If your machine is a top loader which I think it is then the problem could be your brake arm or spin coil is not operating.Please reply and let me know if the clothes are tangling around the agitator.Looking forward to your reply.

Westinghouse front loader freestyle 700 not draining or spinning but is washing ok ? Any ideas what the problem is ? Please...

My machine has done the same. Check for blockages in the drain system, either in the filter, pump or in the drain hose from the drum. Look in your manual on his to do these.

Walking during the spin cycle

Try placing it on a rubber mat or carpet that has a rubber backing. The floor may be too smooth and allows it to walk.
