The noise is likely either the seal or a bearing in that order. If you are mechanically capable of working on the pump yourself then you can purchase a seal and gaskets at a pool supply store. If the bearings are bad then the motor needs to be replaced. In some cases a bearing can be replaced but usually it is more work than it is worth.

New fan belt and the car is making a loud squealing noise

Either the water pump is bad or the power steering pump or the tensioner or maybe the tension on the belt is insufficient. If you have air conditioning, the bearing could be bad in that but that's a bit remote.

FLC271W2 washer squeal during wash cycle

LOUD NOISES IN washing MACHINE;

LOT OF THINGS TO CHECK, THE BELT LOOSE OR WORN, THE CLUTCH, THE TRANNY, THE BEARINGS BOTH TUB SEAL AND BEARING, THE REAR DRUM BEARING,
THE DRIVE PULLEY- If the washer is making a loud noise the drive pulley might be worn out, cracked, loose or bent. Remove the drive pulley and inspect it carefully. If it is damaged or defective replace it.
THE TRANSMISSION, THE MOTOR COUPLER, THE MOTOR DRIVE BEARINGS,
THE DRIVE MOTOR- If the washer is making a loud noise the drive motor bearings may have worn out. Washer motors are normally almost silent when they run. If the motor is run without a belt hooked up to it and it's loud it will have to be replaced.


If the washer is making a loud noise the drain pump might be going bad or might have something caught in it. Remove the drain pump from the washer and inspect it carefully. Look for anything that might be caught in it, a piece of wire, plastic, etc. If nothing is wrong with the pump, but it's still noisy it will have to be replaced.

My 92 chevy blazer is making a loud squealing noise sounds like my belts but its not that I've replaced the belt and the tensioner what else could it be?

Bearings in Alternator, water pump, power steering pump or even a squeal from Vacuum line, EGR diaphram or similar. Check power steering fluid level.



Now when you replaced the tensioner, did you notice more pulleys that were just "there" and not connected to anything? These are idler pulleys and are helpful in routing the belt. They have bearings too!

Pleae rate my info.

My Whirlpool AWO 3561/5 makes a loud squealing noise when draining. What could be the problem?

Check your drain filter for any blockage. Make sure when you open the filter that you look up in there as far as possible. Also, I would remove the drain hose from the pump to look for any debris. After clearing the filter and pump, run the machine again. If you still hear the squealing you will need to replace the pump. Here is a link to the replacement pump.

Noise at pump

Your problem is just a little vague. Noise could be several things including.... vibration can cause noise especially if the pump is not sitting solid on the ground. Cavitation around the impeller can cause the pump to be noisy. something stuck in the impeller can not only cause a number of irregular noises, but also affect performance. If the bearings are going bad they can make a number of bad sounds; anything from just sounding a little noisier than normal or a loud grumble to a loud high pitched squeal the can make a banshee turn and run.

'96 Toyota 4-Runner makes a loud squealing noise and brake light

Sounds like one of the auxillary belts slipping it may just need tightening up. I think the 4-Runner has two belts one large and one for the steering pump
