-   Upon final spin cycle, a jet takes off in my laundry room.  So loud, I have to close the door, and go to the far end of the house, just so my ears don't hurt.  Am actually afraid the washer will one day explode, and kill me while I'm closing the door.-   Guest

-   I have a similar issue... loud plane taking off during the spin cycle. Is there a lubricant that can be applied?-   FiveBeanSoup

-   Actually, when it is spinning it is quiet until it sometimes shuts off at high rpm. Then it sounds like a horn or siren dropping quickly in frequency (pitch) and comes to an quick stop. No vibration problem. The power and power red light both go off. I am having some door lock issues again so this might be related. Maybe this is what you get when the unit shuts down during spin. It is shutting off on fill and wash too and I have to push start/stop button to get the washer running (and the power on light on again). Sometimes the door lock light does not come on at all when this happens. Sometimes the door lock light will not go off unless I pull the power cord. Do you think I should replace the wax motor again first? The R11 resistor is OK this time. -   Guest
