Loud clacking noise when advancing into rinse cycle. Rinse cyle doesn't work.

Main shaft is rotating in wrong direction and causes the clutch at bottom of the shaft to make the clacking noise.

Sounds like the water seal is damaged and the leaking water has damaged the top bearing which is just below the water seal. You will need to have the hub & seal kit replaced.

SOURCE: Loud noise during spin cycle and agitator won't rotate

the machine is nknown to have bad main seals, in turn leading to the corrosion of the spin bearing, in which case makes it sound as if a helicopter is landing in your laundry room

SOURCE: the washer is no longer going through the rinse cyle

Check the timer, which is behind the knobs, and check also the power supply. If both work, then move ontothe relay, if still no avail go to the computer board

SOURCE: loud noise during rinse cycle

Hi,
When a front load washing machine becomes very loud on the rinse or spin cycle it is often because of broken shock absorbers that hold the tub. This often break on the loop that the pin goes through and sometimes it will take a close inspection to see the break.
If you remove the front bottom cover it makes seeing the shocks easier. They are located on each side about halfway back. If you can take a hold of the tub and easily move it around then they are broke.
The shocks are not that hard to replace, but it will take a little bit of patience to get the job done. Some basic mechanical hand tools are all that is needed for the replacement.
You can find parts for your unit by doing a search for “appliance parts”.
Once you get the results of the search, pick a site and when it comes up it will usually ask for the model number of your unit.
Enter your model number and you will then get a page with exploded views and a parts menu.
Find the part you need and then order it.
Check a few different sites to be sure that you are getting the best pricing.
Most sites can have the part to you in a couple of days.
I hope that this will help you to solve your problem!

Thanks for using Fixya!!

What is causing my Kenmore top washer to make a grinding noise before the rinse cycle?

Have you replaced the clutch or spin tube? There is a brake actuator that comes with the clutch kit and if this is broken it can make a very loud grinding or clacking sound.

Frigidaire FWT647GHSO when it gets to rinse first rinse cycle, it doesn't stop filling with water. It won't agitate or spin. It works well in the wash cycle, agitates and spins and advances

probably you've got something blocking the water pump from doing its job properly so check that the water pump is free running emptying all the water if not then there is a blockage in the pump normally ist a button, paper clip or other debris out of a trouser pocket eric

Loud noise when in rinse cycle

Hi,
It sounds like your main bearing has gone out. It's quite an expense to fix and generally isn't worth fixing even if you do the repair yourself as the parts run about $600 by themselves and it takes about 1/2 a day to replace them. You can't replace the bearing itself so you have to replace the rear half of the outter tub and the inner tub.

Check your motor coupling, it is between the motor and transmission,made of rubber and plastic, if it is not broken and you heard a lot of screaching ,i would say it is your basket drive tube-could have gotten worn down on the bottom around the clutch brake area! Better purchase a used basket drive tube,install it with a new clutch and it will start working for you.

Thank you !!

Loud banging noise during rinse

Most noises from a washing machine occur during the rinse or spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping during the spin, the load of clothes may have become unbalanced. Stop the washer and redistribute the clothes, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.This will solve your problem.

Dishwasher makes noise during drain cycle

This really isn't a solution, but I found info on Whirlpool's site that the noise could be caused by the disposer and food or something in it. They said to use it a few cycles and see if the noise goes away, so that's what I'm doing. I always rinse dishes before going into the dishwasher, so don't really think there could be food particles etc. causing the problem, but we'll see. Not anxious to pay for a possible solution unless through a repair person. Thanks for your reply.
