    Thanks! My washer lasted 10 years, this was the only problem. I've read where people had trouble after 3 - 4 years (switches, pumps, etc). This was my only problem, although it's a fatal one.



    Thanks for the quick response!

    I experience the same problem and the repairman told us that the tub is loose and the struts and spin basket is broken, with an estimated cost of $500 - $600.00. I also had a problem with the machine not spinning - twice had to get a repairman to fix, the first time shortly after the purchase, Thank God it was still under warranty, and the other time it happened a year ago.It seems a shame that after 9 years the washing machine is broken. What happened to quality.

Do you know what # to call for Frigidaire. I think that my bearings may be shoot. Making a lot of noise when spinning and a clunking noise when agitating and a gritty material came out in the water into the wash tub.

The bearings are worn out ,it's not worth to repair , the fact that your washer is old it's going to have more problems.

Frigidaire Gallery Series GLEH1642FS loud noise on final spin

It sounds like something has come loose or some item was placed in the unit accidentally and it got lodged in the drum. You will need to start by taking the front cover off and looking around the drum.

I have a Fridgedaire Gallery front loader, was making a loud banging noise on spin cycle, now the whole drum has dropped! help!

The symptoms that you describe sounds like the spider arms that support the drum are broken. It is a very expensive repair. Get a few estimates, before deciding whether it is worth repairing or replacing. Sorry.

My washer makes a loud noise in the spin cycle. It's a Frigidaire Gallery Washer Model 417.39012890. Any idea how expensive the repair will be?

In my experience with 417 Frigidaires is that when there is a noise in the spin cycle as you describe the drum bearing is failing. This is a very expensive repair that that when I looked up labor and parts could exceed 600 smakeroos.
