Bosch Maxx washing machine. 1000rpm It rattles in the spin cycle

The load in the drum is seriously out of balance at the start of the spin cycle and that is why the drum and tub are mounted on a fairly substantial suspension system.

The mountings of the suspension system and the springs or dampers take a real pounding so it isn't unusual that sometimes a spring will break or a mounting wear through.

Clearly it could be something else entirely but whatever the cause it needs checking with a degree of priority. There is a lot of semi-exposed wiring and circuitry inside that soon could be damaged, perhaps making repair uneconomic - "a stitch in time saves nine"...

Ariens mower made loud sound as if I ran something over, started smoking, got really hot and now won't start. It pulls but has a loud rattle sound with pull, didwngine fry?

Sounds like something inside has let go, possibly a piston or Connecting rod, maybe worth getting a quote from a reputable repairer.

Loud winiing or grindig noise on spin cycle

Sounds like the spin bearing in the transmission has gone bad. These are usually not worth repairing for the costs involved.

Washing machine making loud roaring sound during spin cycle

Very likely the main bearing and drum shaft-inner tub will need replace. Not worth repairing, easily can cost more than the washer. Buy a new whirlpool front load duet, super capacity or the top load whirlpool with and agitator. Good Luck, Appliance Specialists

Whirlpool washer makes loud noise now won't spin

HI. The issue here will be with the actual motor coupler. It is damaged at this time. The clutch and coupler should be replaced asap.The coupler is responsible for transferring the rotative torque to the actual transmission(direct drive assembly). The clutch is a regulator. Once these components are replaced, the unit will operate properly.

Now. The actual parts cost will be $50.00. This includes the clutch kit, and coupler, as well. Total repair cost, if service is requested by a tech, will be $150.00, roughly.

First: Loud Banging Noise. Now: No spin cycle.

Sounds like it may have been overloaded, or unblanced, I would say it would be better to replace....it can get pricey if the first fix doesn't work. Washers don't cost what they use to, get a scratch and dent sale item and save money too!

Loud Knocking

this is a collapsed drum bearing, one of the most costly of the repairs apart from the timer and motor, not normally a job for the diy man unless has an engineering background, sorry, the cost of repair depends on the age and replacement cost of a machine, a bit like a car, would you buy an engine for a 20 year old car, if you have a machine thats expensive then the repair could be worth it? stop running it you will cause more damage both to the clothes and the machine sorry (ps i am a retired appliance engineer of 20 years service)
