Ecosmart loud during spin cycle

You have to unscrew certain body areas to get into the motor area depending on the make and the first thing I would check is see if the belt is shot. A bad belt will make noises as well as cause slipping. If the belt is ok check the shafts and see if there is play like movement if you push up or down . If it's the motor you may have to replace or take it to a repair shop if you don't understand how to do it. It does take some work to change a bearing

Most likely tub bearings and spider gear are bad.

Loud rubbling during the spin cycle would definately indicate that the bearings have failed. Bearings can be replaced, and can be found online as repairclinic.com, but it is rather difficult job if you are not mechancally inclined.

I just replaced the bearings on my Front loader Maytag MAH5500B, as it sounded like a freight train during the spin cycle. The bearing replacement fixed the train problem.

NEW PROBLEM NOW: It's been about a month now since the bearing job and now something is clicking/binding when you spin the back belt wheel. I have taken the belt off and carefully move the wheel and I still get this clicking noise. It sounds as if someone is hitting the plastic drum that the tub is surrounded by. I really doubt it's the bearings this soon, as the sound is not the same! No leaks or metal shavings to speak of or rubbing of the belt wheel.

Seems like it's more noticeable during the wash/rinse cycles then the spin.

Can anyone help.???

sounds like the washer transmission has failed.

is it more like a roar or a train going by? if so your rear tub bearing is going out. very expensive have to replace the tub, basket, spinner ring and shaft and seals about 4 hrs for an exprienced tech to do took me 7 hrs to do for the first time. but it will be very close to $1000 to have done not much less to do it yourself.

the top bearing has gone bad you are looking at replacing the transmition and tub seal about 200 dollars in parts the labor is a little tough also you got to completly disasemble the machine to do this may be best to get a new machine

yes ..bearing on upper side of gearcase has gone bad probably from a water leak from tub seal

its either the upper spin bearing or lower spin bearing. the upper can be replaced by itself but the lower requires the transmission the be replaced

this is my experience repairing the maytag washer Atlantis mav series 9750 aww, I had to replace the spin bearing since it was making a jet engine noise when it was spinning out the water. its not an easy job for my 1st time taking this machine apart, you literally take it all apart to get to this bearing, but now I can show how to do it with pictures making it easier for you to do it. even if you have to replace something other than the spin bearing, this how to tutorial will show you how to get to most of the parts in this machine
