Duet Washer spin cycle makes noise

My duet Washer is about 4 years old, After doing a heavy load I heard a noise in the spin cycle, Ever since that the Bowl inside does not spin proper its like its off balance, I would like to know if there is a track band that could have came off and how can I check it,I am pretty mechanical

    i have had the same problem, or similar, mine was leaking water, i took off the bottom and found that the outer tub had a whole, the metal basket rubbed a whole in it. to find out if the legs of the tripod on the back of the basket are broken or corroded, which is what was wrong with mine, open the front door, inside the drum you will see 3 agitators, those are aligned to the legs on the tripod. turn the basket till one of those legs are at the top, grab the try to push the basket up towrd the rim of white outer tub. (it shouldnt move, or very little), repeat with each leg. if one moves more than the others that should be the broken leg. you wont be able to actually see the problem unless you take the whole tub assembly apart.

If it was from a heavy load more than likely 2 screws came off of the tripod on the back of the metal basket.

take of the front lower panel of the washer and clean out the drain pump, if the screws came out they should be in there. to actually fix the problem you would have to take the entire tub assembly out and apart to get to the baskside of themetal basket.

but in general, its not that hard to fix if you are mechanical savvy. i fixed mine myself and im a 27 yo female who has never looked inside a washer before this experience.

Whirpool duet is making a clacking noise on the spin cycle.

Reach inside and see if there is any play to the inner/spin tub (up and down) . Tub may be seperating from mounting and spindle assembly.

then four minutes later the “F/02” error code will be
displayed.

sure the pump is running.

Whirlpool Duet Sport not running it makes clicks and it grinds

A common problem with noises from washing machines has been the under wire that may come out of small clothes. In the washer they can get stuck in one of the inner basket holes and make a scrapping noise, they can actually make there way into the pump and jam the pump, or make a terrible noise when the pump is running. Grab a flash light and have a peek inside the washer for this. Front load washers seem very common to this happen! If the tiny cloth is showing signs of fraying, may be best not to wash it in the washing machine, replace the cloth.=======
It's noisy Most noises from a washing machine occur during the spin cycle. If you hear loud thumping 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.
