Awful bearing noise on spin. - Bosch Exxcel WFO 2265 Front Load Washer

Bearings? Motor? a broken strut or support?

Noises can be a few things, first remove the belt spin drum by hand it should be fairy smooth and Quiet, if not then chance is the rum bearings are faulty quite an expensive repair....

i can tell you if you tell me the model and front or top load. I assume its as top load www.thewashingmachineman.webs.com

your inner drum bearing lip-seal has gone bad and the inner drum bearings are now water soaked and rusted and need replacement,parts are cheap,but depending how long it takes to remove and clean the bearing races and time/labor you will need to check on in your area

You probably have a bad bearing or set of bearings on bottom of the tub.

FIRST, IF IT DOESNT STOP FILLING YOU EITHER HAVE A CLOGGED VACUUM LINE OR A BAD PRESSURE SWITCH. AS FOR THE NOISE WHEN IT SPINS, TAKE OFF THE BELT, CHECK PULLEY FOR THE MOTOR AND PUMP, IT SHOULD SPIN FREELY AND TIGHT. IF THEY BOTH GOOD, AND THE NOISE IS AROUND THE MIDDLE OF THE TUB ON TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION, MEANS YOU HAVE A BAD TUB BEARING

It's hard to pinpoint it from your description. But it might be either the motor coupler, or transmission. Does it agitate alright with no noise? It could be center shaft bearings too if it only makes the noise in spin. Either way, with transmission, or center shaft bearings, the transmission needs to be removed. The motor coupler is a lot easier. It's what drives everything and is used instead of a belt. If the rubber is worn out, it can make an awful noise. If this helps, please rate my answer. Thank you.

There are three reasons for such awful noise during spinning. Either the drum or the bearing turning the drum. Check for drum bearing failure if your washing machine is noisy on the spin cycle. Drum bearing failure is common when the bearing seals start allowing water to enter. You can take the belt off and spin the drum by hand, and if the drum rumbles, replace the bearings.

Thanks

There is a bearing, somehwere that is the most likely cause.

Does anything alter the sound, accelleration, decell, moderate turning (thinking to unload one side and load the other side of the vehicle)?

My vote would be for a bearing, and they are hard to tell until you tear the offending bearing apart...

Welcome to FIxya

I would check the belt and i would also check the bearing

hard to help you out with out seeing it but i would check those first ....

hope this helps out have a good day :)
