| There are many parts
that could be the reason why your Whirlpool washer is noisy.
The
pump: The pump in your
washer runs all the time that the washer is agitating or spinning.
The continued us of the washer will wear out the pump impeller seals
and cause the pump to leak or to make noises.
The
motor: The bearings in the
motor could wear out causing it to rattle and that could make the
washer noisy.
Counterweight spring: Your
washer uses a counterweight spring to keep the spin basket in the
center of the cabinet. The counterweight spring is attached to the
washer tub and the washer metal frame
When this spring brakes or the hole in
the frame becomes rusted and the spring becomes undone, the spin
basket will no longer be in the center and it hits the cabinet. That
could be one of the reasons why your washer is noisy.The
brake & drive tube: The
drive & brake tube is the part that makes the spin basket spin or
brake. The spin basket is attached to the drive and brake tube. When
the washer motor turns clockwise the tube is use to apply the
brakes, and when it turns counterclockwise is use to spin the spin
basket.
When the brake pads gets rusty, the
washer tend to try to stop the spin drum too fast and this could be
why the Whirlpool washer is noisy.
Loose cabinet:
Another reason why your washer
is noisy it could be because the cabinet is out of place. When the
washer gets move around and is not handle right, the cabinet could
become undone and a loose cabinet will make noises specially when
the washer is on the spin cycle. |
