When my machine goes into the spin cycle it makes lots of noise along with vibration. If I push the left side of the door in it makes the machine run a lot quiter. I have replaced the motor and just recently I replaced the shock absorbers thinking that may cure the problem.
Just to let you know before the washer goes into spin cycle it seems to try and balance the load. It still does this but it is still noisy.
If I set the spin speed down to 1400 RPM or less then it is quiet.
I am thinking now it must be the main bearing as I can't see anything broken or loose.
Help please
Cheers

Hi there,
Most noises from a washing machine occur during the spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping/or sound
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.

My washing machine makes a noise when spinning. Turning the drum by hand I can hear a noise of metal scratching on metal at two points in one revolution. The drum is split into 3 sections or vanes. There is a slight scratch of metal on metal at 120degrees and 240degrees. After a spin one item in the washing comes out with oily spots (4 or 5) in a line separated by the distance between the holes in the drum. It looks like the piece of washing is picking up the debris from the obstruction during spin. The noise appears to be coming from the right hand centre where the outer drum is suspended on the shock absorber spring. I suspect the inner drum has a snag at two points. The bearing appears to be OK since I cannot manipulate the drum by hand to get rid of the scratching noise
think it is shock absorbers
