I hear a little bearing noise, probably not worth repairing. Not a loud bearing noise either. I watched a video where the washer leaked. That’s probably what caused it to wear out, because water leaked into the bearing. It’s not too loud, my VMW has a really loud bearing.
@@appliancealliance4444 Have you’ve seen a VMW with a really loud bearing, I’ve seen the issue on multiple. I believe a Kenmore 25102, my own Whirlpool (WTW4900BW0), and an Amana NTW4516FW. My uncles machine is a Kenmore Series 500 model, it looks like a 25102 to me, it has a loud bearing like my Whirlpool, I believe my aunt got the NTW4516FW with bad bearings. So it’s actually common on these models. I’ve might’ve seen more with bad bearings, but I don’t remember them. These are the ones I can remember. I’ve seen a VMAX, it’s a newer one too, model MVW7232HW, that thing is running with bad bearings too and is in my other uncles house. I might’ve seen more VMAX machines with the issue but I didn’t remember those really. Since I know of about 3 VMWs and 1 VMAX that activity has a bad bearing. I haven’t actually seen a bearing issue on an older Whirlpool Cabrio in a while, I think the owner of the MVW7232HW used to have an older Mayrag Bravos with bad bearings, but it was since replaced. I haven’t seen an older Cabrio style washer with a bearing failure in such a long time now. All the ones I’ve seen recently actually have good bearings. Washers can run with bad bearings for a while. I believe mine had the issue for like 3-4 years, and it still works today. Mine has had a bad bearing for a while now, it’s really loud but it still runs today. Smurdle450 had a washing machine run with bad bearings for eleven years, I believe I know someone who has a HydroWave with bearing issues, and that machine still runs and had the bearing issue for like 11 years I think. It’s an Infusor HydroWave. The modern Whirlpool VMW machines (except for the porcelain tub versions) seem to have bearings that rarely fail. I haven’t seen a bearing failure in a Whirlpool washer with a 4.2 cu ft capacity or higher.
@@appliancealliance4444Mine ran with bad bearings for 3 years and still spins and works, just really loud in the spin cycle. Much louder than yours, I’ve heard 3 VMWs in my family with bad bearings, so I’m not alone. One VMW (newer one too, model MVW7232HW). All the VMW machines I know with bearing issues are kenmore 25102, Whirlpool WTW4900BW0, and Amana NTW4516FW. All have really loud bearings too.

@@coolrobuxgaming interesting part about this machine is it’s been like that for months and hasn’t got much worse.
