Wash cycle works ok but will not spin and oe appears in digital display then it switches off. We have just had drum and shaft and bearings replaced, repair man ran it then when we trid to use it it has done this. it is an LG intellowasher 7kg WM-1480FHD

Time for an engineer to look at it

Bad bearings or something stuck between the tub and drum.

It is so common that the washing machine can make terrible noise in many ways and is a common fault. In all occasions it is important that your observation is most important and so is vital to the identification /rectification and solution. If you have noticed that machine is vibrating when it is running then the motor /drum suspension has to be inspected. Since these fittings are located on the underside of the machine it is important that you look for the noise with a good inspection lamp. Manually turn the motor and drum and listen for the noise, if so the motor bearings, the drum agitator shaft and fittings must be checked. Also the suspensions which include the shock absorbers and springs, the body clamps must be checked to be in correct alignment and not changed in position. Tightening of the mounting is also very important. Finally in most cases a drop of OIL or smear of grease on the moving parts cane solve most issues.

Unit probably has bad main shaft and bearings. Worn bearings will cause excessive shaking on spin cycle. The shaft, bearings and seal will have to be replaced. Also if you grab the tub by the top and shake it up and down, it will have a little play in it. That will confirm bad tub shaft bearings. It's a pretty big job for a DIY.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. It sounds like it is your spin bearings. It would explain the grease and the noise also. The spin bearings have to do with the spinning of the washer. Usually, if there are loud noises associated with the washer, it is either the motor drive or the spin bearing.

Ball bearings have worn out. Replace as a set. Replace Water seals in the drum. Check the bearing shaft for any scrub marks. Check bearing housing. Fix new bearings now

If a front loader type, try lifting up on the drum. If it clunks and seems to move somewhat easily, it is probably the front bearing on drum rear support shaft--a major tear-down to replace. If a top loader, try tipping the basket (that spins) in several directions--if it makes clunking sounds, try removing the agitator and check the tub mounting bolts at the bottom center for tightness. If ok, tip the tub again and watch for movement. It may have a bad bearing below the tub at the center area. Remove the tub bolts and pull the tub out revealing the drive hub underneath. Don't know if you would have to drop the transmission to repair what you find. Good luck!

stpnlok,
Did you follow my post at this link Clutch repair post for your repair ?
I’m a little confused by this description “”there is what seams to be a sealed plastic ring on the top of the stainless drum is there suppose to be liquid in it there is a liquid in there””.
Maybe go to searspartsdirect.com and look at the exploded view and give me a p/n.
“”I had to replace the top bearing on the "drive shaft" it was making alot of noise the cluth assembly seamed ok but still kicks out on spin cycle””
Are you saying you replaced the upper One-Way Roller clutch bearing assembly only? If so that tells me you purchased the whole clutch assembly. I know of no parts supplier that sells the upper One-Way Roller clutch bearing assembly alone. We Are talking about a FAV6800A machine correct? To make sure I’m following here is the clutch parts view.

Here is pic of the same clutch causing dC errors prior to clean up.


Upper One-Way Roller clutch bearing

Is this the part you speak of ""I had to replace the top bearing on the "drive shaft" it was making alot of noise the cluth assembly seamed ok but still kicks out on spin cycle""
If we are talking about a FAV6800A or FAV9800A I can help you.
Let me know....Rich

This is most likely the drum bearings failing.

Drum bearings normally last a long time (10 years or more isnt unusual), but quite often drum bearing failure is caused by a faulty drum shaft seal allowing a small amount of water through and in to the bearings. The bearings then start to rust and this accelertes how quickly they deteriorate.

Replacing a drum bearing requires well above average DIY skills, so unless you feel you can do it, can get hold of a tech manual, and can find a supplier for the bearings, it's time to get a quote from an engineer.
