I have a twin tub and the washer side, sounds like a pneumatic drill when it agitates. LoL 😂
6:10 - Suspension system. That's my problem.
Thank you Leslie 🙏
You a real one Leslie! Thank you!
Well my sound wasn't here. But honestly good job with all the sounds. You might be the only people I've seen actually show the noises.
The actual noises helped with the diagnosis of the issue, thank you for this!
I agree. Most useful site I saw and helped me diagnose the issue!
@@carpepacalis959 what ended up being your problem???
😂 right
My washer makes a grinding noice and then nocks out the power I just changed the agitator dogs too but it's not that sounds horrible
Thank you so much for actually making that washer make the noise associated with the issue to help me better diagnose the problem. That was HUGE help.
Agreed 💯
Excellent video with a calming guy with Zero BS like so many others on TH-cam
The noise my washing machine is making isn't on this list. My washer is suddenly making a high pitched noise while agitating. At least I know what isn't wrong with it. I just wish I knew what was wrong with it, so I can get an idea of how much it will cost to fix it. 😢
It was the drive pump in my case, a small zipper from a clothing item got caught in there. You are life saver, sir.
The sound I’m getting isn’t in this video, but that still helps me out. So glad this is here.
I am so thankful I found this video! I was watching another on this channel that led me through taking my washer apart but almost changed the wrong part out. I replaced the motor coupler and we're back in order!
Thank God I found this guy, we were gonna buy a new washer completely but now all i gotta do is change one thing😊 yayyy! Thanks for saving me money😆
Thank you! This was the most helpful video because you included noises and videos of internal components that helped us rule out and diagnose the issue. Really appreciate your video and help!!!
Excellent video! The inclusion of sounds and defective parts movements or actions was particularly helpful (i.e.wobbly tub bearings). It would have been nice to show us examples of electrical-caused problems like arcing, burning and overheating for novices who might not recognize them. Thanks so much for this hihly useful educational video
Love how you've demystified what cause noises and problems with washing machines. Thank you.
I know this is 4 years old, but thank you so much for showing actual examples of the machine running with the defective parts you are discussing!! It greatly helped me know exactly what the issues are with my machine. Other folks just describe the sound - nowhere near as effective.
I just wanna hug this guy lol this was the best video ever.
That was incredibly thorough thank you. Also, I'm pretty sure about half of those sounds come from my washer. Its probably time to retire it (it lived a good long life and I am not upset by this at all)
Thanks for the video! I appreciate you demonstrating the sounds. Best video I've found. 👍
Very helpful. Unfortunately for me the appliance repair folks around here just don't want to deal with these issues. Charge me $100 for a diagnostic and then they say, "Just get a new machine." Sigh.
Thanks for demonstrating the machine noises. My noise was not there but it was so good have them identified.
THANK YOU! Finally a video that gave a sample of the sound. Now i know my washer has a bad tub bearing. The sound is almost identical.
That was a huge help for me. Very comprehensive, detailed, and the audio 'noises' helped me narrow down the issue with my GE washer!
Glad it was helpful!
What was it? I'm struggling with mine
@@griffisjm I apologize, but whatever it was returned, and we replaced the washer with a new one.
Thank you for giving the sound examples. Very informative!
I agree, the noises helped immeasurably!
Thanks for the various problem's!
Hi,
We have Electrolux washer top load. We can hear louder noise only at the end of the cycle then draining or drying.
What do you think can cause?
Thank you!
thanks for the info and sharing the "noises"
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to help us all through the diagnosis process.
Thank you for the audio!
My next project after you helped me fixed my dryer! 🤗
Thank you for a great video. You covered all of the problems I needed advice on.
Great video. Helpful. I have had the "finish nail in the pump" before. Also keep seeing the "coin in bottom slot" situation.
Sr you are a true professional
Awesome videos. No clue if I have figured out my issue, but great video.
Thanks Steve! The video was helpful.
Great video! Thanks for the sound demo.
Thank you very much, your video assisted me in fixing my top loader.
Excellent video because you show the noise and that was very helpful thanks for sharing 👍 😀 🙏
i suspect a worn bearing, after replacing suspension rods, it isn't off balance now but vibrates. your video helped a lot to narrow down the issues & give me some extra maintenance tips. now i know where to look and what i'm looking for👍
I have a GE top load washer a few years old and it just started making a squeaking noise only during the agitation cycle. Any suggestions on what to look for ?
If your top load washer has a bad baring will it be loud all the time or just on the spin
What a great informative video! 👍🏼
You the goat 🐐 Steve. Thank you
Excellent video! Actually hearing each sound is so much better than trying to describe a sound. Thank you!
Omg your so good at explaining thank you
very good video . nice and thorough . why do you suggest avoid very small loads?
Good video.
I’m pretty sure the squeaking is the drive belt, thanks for the informative video.
Really helpful! Thanks a lot!
Sir... You are a blessing..
Excellent video!
my top load washer has those 3 problems 1. drive belt 2.tub bearing 3.suspension system. this was so helpful thank you very much!
This was quite helpful! When my top load washer first starts to fill, there is a bubbling sound in the bottom of the tub. Is this serious, any idea what causes this?
Perfect video thanks a million
Thank you! Very helpful
Excellent video!!!!!!!!!!!
My GE washer makes a light knocking sound while in the spin cycle only. Would you know what this could be?
Great video + layout
I have tried to remove this shaft 4:53 and it won't come out, direct drive. Is there a trick or is this part of my noise problem like a bad bearing. My motor couple was replaced and the noise is still there. The reversing parts in the transmission were replaced correctly and still the noise, banging back and forth.
Please, if you can help me? I didn't notice my top load washer's problem addressed in your video ... As it's running it makes (indulge me) a 'wehwehwehwehweh' kind of sound. And then when it drains it's an even singier sound. What can that be? Some belt? A pump? Both? I have a Whirlpool Ultimate Care top loader. Thank you for any direction you can give me!
Very informative video.
I had replaced the suspension rod for my whirlpool top load washer,and it worked fine until recently the problem came back, is it because I didn’t replace the 4 old plastic cup suspension rod supporters and kept using them?
Not my sound but thank you for very good video!
My motor and belt may Be out time for a new one . Thanks for this video
Under rated video
What a fantastic video
GREAT VIDEO!!!!
That was a great tutorial.
The background music made it difficult to hear the sound on some of areas you were explaining. Please don’t take this comment as rudeness. I meant it as corrective criticism. Others may have the same issue. I would hate to see you lose viewers due to background noise. I wish had known these things earlier in life. It truly is helpful.
Mine is making a clicking sound and won't agitate and it's not the agitator. In fact it trips the breaker when trying. Spin and drain work fine. It is a 2 or 3 year old hot point. Any ideas?
It was helpful; however, I have a big problem removing the agitator. I saw other TH-cam videos to know how, but still is not coming out no matter how hard I try. I believe that in the end is going to be a bearing problem. Any help with that?
my Kenmore 90 series washing machine is ticking during spinning. Clothes are too wet at end of cycle. I just replaced the drain pump and coupler a couple of weeks ago. Are these symptoms likely to indicate a failing clutch or do I need to replace the parts inside the transmission? My husband said that he rebuilt the transmission a few years ago.
Hey did you fix the ticking problem and what it was?tia
adding in the noises was helpful. Unfortunately my washer's noise was not there...dino death scream is what i'm calling it, started in the end of the rinse cycle and now just screams. 21 yr old whirlpool. Think I got my use outta it.
i had spin problem replaced drain motor and it worked
My top load switch that is activate when the cover closes is defective,can it be by past I try it nothing the machine only may the sound before it start washin
Thank you so much
It's just as I thought. The Guys put too much in the washer. Then it thumps and practically walks across my pantry floor. Spin. Ok suspension
I wonder how much it will cost
Great video bub
Steve, you are my Hero. Question, You did not say any reason why the bearings goes bad. I can imagine it has to do with water leaking in to it but I don't really know the reason so I can keep an eye on it. Do you know why?
thank you Sir.
It's from overloading the washer, imbalanced loads, high humidity conditions, or just defective bearing. Usually overloading washer.
My sound wasnt there.. i just got kenwood twintub 2022 model..its been obly 2 months and i use it v nicely. But in the spin tub..now a screaching sound os coming when it runs. Usually its not there when clothes r only drying..but when i spin with water..then it comes. Should i not put water in there? But then why is the water inlet present in that dryer tub? To spin right? Pls someone answer tonthis problem if u know.thanks alot
Thank you for this video. My machine is making a whirring sound, which is not normal. Any thoughts on what this could be?
Hmmm. It could be a number of things, but the whirring sound you're referring to may have something to do with an unbalanced washer. Here is a list of possible causes of a noisy washer that you might want to take a look at: www.partselect.com/Repair/Washer/Noisy/
@@partselect Thank you, it oddly stopped....But, I will look at this link. :)
I have a Maytag bravo x and when its sensing it sounds like there is something round rolling around the outer tub
nice video, but I get a clicking (kind of a "tat tat tat tat") during agitation. Is that the clutch?
I replaced all springs and washer still making loud banging sound in spin cycle . even when i spin it by hand slow I hear a knocking sound at apx10 and 4 o'clock positions.
Thanks Grandpa 👍
Or water valves are clogged from dirty junk in water when humming but spin cycle works
Poor guy ... his washer has ALL of the most common issues at the same time.
Mines a tub bearing. How do I replace?
My machine is a stack washer/dryer combo. The washing machine is making a sound like a depressed ghost, it sounds like sighing and moaning. What could cause that?Its creepy! I hope you have an answer. This is driving me nuts.
Best part of the video is sounds of machine is also audible
EZY!! THANK U ILL STAY INTOUCH
Yep I have suspension problems
still trying to figure out why our top load LG washing machine is making a grinding sound on agitation....any ideas?
What could the problem be if it seems to be getting noisier on the agitate cycle but normal on spin? Thank you.
I'm having this problem with my twin tub.
None of these noises sound like my washer. BAH 😭
how about the clicking sound during rinsing and spinning cycle?
What about loud cluncking noise only when the tub is spinning down after wash? Sounds like gears jumping its teeth, idk...
Wow! It must have taken a lot of work to create the problems shown to get the sounds. Thanks! My noise was not in there. It makes a loud repeating clicking sound as it tries to get started agitating. Click-click-click pause click-click-click-click pause click run. It is old, but I keep fixing it.
Did you ever figure it out?
@@RSkywatch444Hz It soon stopped working. The transmission failed, and it was time after 30 years to replace it. I doubt I will be able to fix the new one at all.
@@KentDurvin thank you for replying. I’m hoping mine is only a motor coupler.
What does a large squishy sound only dieing tge wash cycle mean? In spin cycle there is no problem.
Welp seems like a suspension issue, time to pull money out of nowhere 😭😫😂 Thank you so much for helping me figure this out
Happy to help!
so according to this video mine is having problem with the belt and suspension..where can I buy the replacements please?
Partselect.com Try to find the model number nd brand of your machine and then look it up in the website.
mine's a grinding screech whenever it draws water. I'm going to check all of these to see if maybe one works. ❤
Check the inlet hoses. Could be debris on the filter screen
This is what mine sounds like. Did you find a fix?

Also a cracked hose may be dripping slippery water on to a belt. Mend hose and clean belt with meths,
