Fix / Top-Load Washer (with agitator) / Making noise or vibrating

Washer making noise or vibrating?

A worn or broken suspension rod allows the outer tub to swing freely and impact the cabinet during the spin cycle.

• Suspension Rod (Front Left)

  Moderate DIY Part: $20–$50

• Drum Roller 1

  Hard DIY Part: $25–$65

  Worn tub bearing surfaces produce a grinding or rumbling noise as the spin basket rotates at high speed.

• Gear Case

  Hard DIY Part: $80–$200

  Worn or dry gear case bearings produce a grinding noise during agitation as internal gears operate without adequate lubrication.

• Drive Hub Disc

  Moderate DIY Part: $8–$20

  A partially stripped drive hub causes intermittent slipping and banging as it alternately grips and releases the basket during spin.

• Drain Pump

  Moderate DIY Part: $25–$55

  A foreign object caught in the drain pump impeller causes a loud rattling or grinding sound whenever the pump is energized.
