    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

Whirlpool Front Load Washer noise

2 year old washer makes noise on spin.  This is most likely off balance due to shock absorbers.  I know how to replace them.  The other noise, near end of cycle is strange.  See video.  I have not been able to determine cause of this noise.  Any help much appreciated.

Spin the drum by hand listen for bearing noise. Then push up on drum to feel for movement, move the drum and try again, do this 6 to 12 places. This check for cracked arm on spider and/or loose mounting of drum to spider. Check front of drum and tub for rub marks. Hard to tell from video, but sounds like something is between drum and tub.

Vance is definitely pointing you in the right direction.  It might also be valuable to check the rubber door boot and where it attaches to the plastic tub for any rubber shavings.  This is normally indicative of the same failure.  I do not think your problem is attributed to the shock absorbers from the video you posted.
