You're not gonna like this:

Pull the washer tub (see elsewhere on FixYa for step-by-steps), split the tub by removing the screws holding the two halves together, and remove the inner tub. Bend any tabs tighter that hold the fins on, and tighten any screws. While you have it apart, check for grease stains or other leakage on either side of the outer tub, and ensure the inner tub bearing is tight so that the inner tub shaft rotates smoothly and without oscillation. If there are stains or if the bearing is showing wear, replace that (back) half of the outer tub to replace the bearing (unless this is one of the few machines that allow you to replace only the bearing). You don't want to put all this back together, only to have to take it all apart again when the inner tub starts hammering on the inner tub because the bearing went south.

Whirlpool trouble shooting

All Spin cycles regardless of load or even when unloaded and spinning?
If so suspension is broken.........Technician repair only, even the balance weights in the tub are too heavy for DIY to remove and replace springs

Whirlpool front load wfw9151yw, I've had it less than a year and the bearings are bad!! Where can I buy bearings? How long is the manufacturers warranty. And what does it cover?

I also had the very same problem with my Whirlpool front loader. This is a common problem and if you have this less then one year they should replace the parts for free. The reason I said parts is because they also had to replace the entire tub and some other parts as well. It took then almost three hours. Thank goodness I have an extended warrentee which I think you shouls also consider.

Whirlpool is a very reliable company and after reading what Ashley sent to you I don't think your going to have any problems.

I just want to mention something to you. If the washer makes noise it could be something else like a clogger drain pump which is easily serviced. The way to tell is to have the washer off and try spinning the tub with your hand if it makes noise then your up for the whole monti.

Good luck,

Marty

My whirlpool front load washing machine is making a loud knocking noise when in the spine cycle.

Bad tub baring or hopefully a cloged drain pump. If it is a tub baring it is going to cost a lot of money.

Good luck,

Marty
