Cause 12 – Tub Bearing
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub of the washing machine. The tub
bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing is defective, it can lock
up and prevent the washer from spinning. The washer may also make a loud rumbling noise.
Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the
washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing
as an assembly.
Cause 13 – Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub bearing and seal is mounted in the middle of the outer tub of the washing machine. The
tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing is defective, it can
lock up and prevent the washer from spinning. The washer may also make a loud rumbling noise.
Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the
washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing.
Cause 14 – Rear Drum with Bearing
The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub
bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy and the tub can stop spinning. On
some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend
replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the
components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally
difficult. Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very
costly.
Cause 15 – Bearing
The bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The bearing helps to keep the inner tub
spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing is defective, and the bearing is sold separately, replace it. If
the bearing is not available separately, replace the outer tub and bearing as an assembly.
Replacing the outer tub and bearing is a difficult and costly repair—if the bearing is defective,
consider replacing the entire washing machine.
Cause 16 – Drive Motor
The drive motor might be defective. However, the drive motor is rarely at fault for this symptom.
Before replacing the drive motor, first check all of the more commonly defective washer
components. If none of those components are defective, consider replacing the drive motor. To
determine if the drive motor is defective, first ensure that the motor is getting power. If the drive
motor hums but doesn’t run, is noisy, or does not turn freely, replace it.
