How can you tell the bearings have gone in your washer machine?

If a washing machine is rumbling, and very noisy on spin, the main suspect is the drum bearings. Drum bearing failure is common on many washing machines due to water getting into them if the drum bearing seal fails. (Hotpoint and Zanussi in particular in my experience) To check for drum bearing failure you can take the belt off and spin the drum by hand. If the drum rumbles when spun then the bearings may have gone. There should be a constant rumble all the time the drum is revolving.





Another drum bearing failure symptom is excessive up and down play in the drum which can be checked for by lifting the drum up and down from the drum lip behind the door seal. A further symptom of drum bearing failure can be a brown rust patch underneath the washing machine and down the back of the outer drum, underneath the drum pulley (where the belt goes) although this patch is not always present. There are usually two small holes at the back of the drum bearings where water that has got past the drum bearing seal trickles out, and it's usually stained with grease and rust if water has got into the bearings.How can you tell the bearings have gone in your washer machine?
It wont be a cheap job to replace the bearings.It'll cost more in labour,the parts are only about 拢20.I've done 2 machines myself,both Hotpoint.You also need the right tools,because the hardest part can be removing the old bearings,also,how much of the machine you have to take apart to remove inner drum before you can remove the old bearings.Then when your done,put it back together,you could have a leak,then what do you do?Start again.How can you tell the bearings have gone in your washer machine?
Grinding noise. Also lift the drum at the top. A small amount of movement is normal. If it moves up and down,say, 15 - 20mm the bearing is shot. Replacement is fairly straightforward. You buy a kit which includes a seal. Haynes do a Washing Machine manual which will guide you through the procedure.
On fast spin,if it noisy then do not fluff around,get a new machine,as if the bearings are shot,the rest of the machine is not far behind,and with the newest machines they work at a lower Temperature so saving you loads of money in the long run
All of the above , the noise is a first indication , get it sorted to avoid further damage

If you had a washer that's broken and it's repairable, would you rather buy a new one or just have it repair?

Buy a new one. Last time I had a man coming to my home for an ';estimate only'; (he had to see what was broken first and how much it was gonna cost me to fix it) I paid 250 dollars ! Yep, Manhattan prices plus, the piece that needed to be replaced, was gonna cost me 350. I opted for a new one.If you had a washer that's broken and it's repairable, would you rather buy a new one or just have it repair?
definitely depends on price. if repair costs (including parts and labour) are over 1/2 cost to buy a new one then definitely buy a new one!If you had a washer that's broken and it's repairable, would you rather buy a new one or just have it repair?
when having the transmission repaired in a washer it is often cheaper to buy a new washer.


so i choose buy a new one.
Repair it!!!





Do you know how much new one's cost these days???





Or hit up Craigslist for a used one at a decent price.
whichever option is the cheaper option!

I have a GE washer that's around 2 years old. It will no longer agitate, however it will fill, drain and spin

When it gets to the point in the cycle when it should agitate it just sits there. You can hear the motor but it won't even move the timer-it doesn't progress through that part of the cycle unless I manually move the knob. I'm thinking it's the belt but I'm not sure if that is it and if so, how to fix it.I have a GE washer that's around 2 years old. It will no longer agitate, however it will fill, drain and spin
No expert here, but a broken something or other that can probably easily be replaced.





My whole transmission had to be replaced years ago. My repairman is pretty cool--replaced it with another used one %26amp; only charged me about $80 for the whole repair. Still works great! (I live in a fairly rural area) in SW Virginia.)





Call a local repairman--get some estimates over the phone after telling them what it's doing.








Oh, it's only 2 years old? Check 2C if there are recalls. it seems too soon to have gone bad unless you've overloaded it a lot.I have a GE washer that's around 2 years old. It will no longer agitate, however it will fill, drain and spin
I think that your timer is bad, since it isn't moving. Otherwise, maybe your belt is bad, or one of the actuators for the transmission is out.
