Very loud in spin cycle. Is there a bearing or something going bad?

Hi. Check if the seal is properly installed back and glass centred. Loud noise is usually related to main bearing going bad. Check for belt tension.

you need to replace the lip-seal as it has let ater in and destroyed the inner drums bearings,then its quite a lengthy process to renew these bearings on this plastic tub depending on how bad and rusted and corroded the bearings are set in the race

I just replaced the bearings on my Front loader Maytag MAH5500B, as it sounded like a freight train during the spin cycle. The bearing replacement fixed the train problem.

NEW PROBLEM NOW: It's been about a month now since the bearing job and now something is clicking/binding when you spin the back belt wheel. I have taken the belt off and carefully move the wheel and I still get this clicking noise. It sounds as if someone is hitting the plastic drum that the tub is surrounded by. I really doubt it's the bearings this soon, as the sound is not the same! No leaks or metal shavings to speak of or rubbing of the belt wheel.

Seems like it's more noticeable during the wash/rinse cycles then the spin.

Can anyone help.???

You either have something caught between the tub and basket or a bearing bad.

That is a characteristic of bearings gone bad. You should look into replacing the bearings.

very loud in spin cycle can mean a bad rear bearing, not something a homeowner would want to try to replace, parts would exceed 6-7 hundered dollars. you may have some extended part warr through the manufacture. still probly gonna be a 5 hundred when the labor is added in

Your maytag is really an amana and the bearings are bad. Yes it does cost a lot. If i were you i would buy another washer. Get a whirlpool. (whirlpool now owns maytag)

OTHER THEN CHECKING THE WATER PUMP I THINK YOUR RIGHT THE BEARING ARE GOING,IT WILL WORK FINE TILL THEY LOCKUP THEN THE BELT WILL BURN OFF,BUT I WOULD CHECK THE WATER PUMP ALOT OF TIMES IT JUST THAT,LET ME KNOW -MIKE

yes ..bearing on upper side of gearcase has gone bad probably from a water leak from tub seal

I have a maytag that sounds the same way but washes and spins fine despite all the noise???
