Its probebly the main bearing. disconect the power and remove the back. then slide the belt off the big pulley. if you see alot of brown splatter you know its the bearing.if not with the belt removed go to the front and open the door spin the drum fast, if it makes the same noise its the rear bearing.

Mine was really loud until we discovered the unbalance switch problem which caused my washer to stop spinning completely. We found that a block of stabilizer styrofoam was supposed to sandwich this switch between it and the wash drum had slipped out. Once replaced the washer was MUCH quieter.

    Hello - - I am in a jam and could use your help. I am repairing a neptune washer - - - front and rear bearings. When I opened the machine up I found a block of styrofoam sitting loose in the machine. I also found a small switch on the bottom of the washer floor (two blue wires connected to it). You elude to the block and switch.... I can't find info on how these items are supposed to sit in the washer anywhere on the web. Can you help me?

    My email address is [email protected]

    thank you in advance for your assistance

When this is the problem, you usually hear a loud sound during the spin cycle.Get the spin bearing and motor checked.Replace the faulty. You can get required parts from www.repairclinic.com

Maytag washer spins loud

Glenda, Is this a front loading washer? If so, you have a bad basket support bearing. A rather expensive repair.

Maytag Top Load Washer MVWB850YW making loud noise in spin cycle.

If it's a roaring noise, the tub bearing is probably wearing out. Spin the tub a little with your hand, if you hear a little of the roar, that's it.

Whirlpool washer WTW6400SW very loud spin cycle, sounds like airplane taking off

Most likely it is the spin tube bearing worn. Reguires some know how and special tools. Requires a major dismantle of the machine and usally I did these repairs in the shop. Bearing will eventually sieze over use and time. Labor will probably exceed the value of the machine.

Loud noise

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

Hope it may help you;

Loud Noise - Spin Cycle

If the washer is making a squealing noise, the problem is more likely to be the basket drive. If it is more like a rattling sound, the centerpost bearings are probably worn out. Open machine's rear panel and spin the basket manually by turning the drive pulley, to find out from where exactly the noise come from. Defective part should be replaced. Good luck !!
