Maytag Bravos mvwb850wl2 still very noisy after bearing replacement


JPGraphX

Recommended Posts

Hi!

Model Number: Maytag Bravos mvwb850wl2

Brand: Maytag

Age: 6-10 years

2 weeks ago I replaced my washer machine bearings. I tested it with a heavy load and it looked perfect. I ask my wife a couple of time since then and she said it looked okay.

 

But, today, I heard that same (or very similar) very noisy sounds when spinning at high speed. Inside the washer was many bed sheets so it was a heavy load. When I replaced the bearings I saw that rotor internal spline/gear were pretty used. Same with the agitator.

 

Here is a video with sound from my cellphone. I slided it under the washer.

 

Thanks for your help!!

Sounds like a dry bearing.

 Did you use whilpool bearing or a cheap ebay one?

did you use the tool or otherwise press them in?

option 1 take it all apart and put together again tight

option 2 let it run and its noisey and may or may not lead to premature failure

You get what you pay for in these cases
