Washer will not spin just makes a grinding sound

Good Afternoon Kevin,

I see that you are having trouble with your Frigidaire washer not spinning and making a grinding sound as if something were stripped. I also see that changing out the door lock and switch assembly, did not help the issue.

I would suggest contacting either the manufacturer or your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose what is causing the grinding sound and better assist in resolving the grinding sound. Hope this helps.

Good Morning John,

I see that you are hearing a grinding noise before the spin cycle in your Frigidaire washer, model# GLET1031CS0. A certain amount of "grinding" or gear sounds are normal in a heavy-duty washer. If you notice that the grinding sound appears to be getting louder, I suggest contacting either the manufacturer or your local authorized technician for further assistance. Hope this is helpful.

Sounds like the washers drive coupling is broken. Part number 285753A. The coupling connects the motor to the transmission and when it breaks it can make a grinding noise. Since it is not turning the transmission anymore it cannot spin. Hope this helps

Hello keri... when it will not spin and it makes a grinding sound the transmission has gone bad. This is a costly part and a costly labor fee. Unless the machine is still under warranty a replacement is recommended over a repair. Joe

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

Sounds like the clutch is malfunctioning. Not an easy DIY job -- probably need a service call.

if its brand new it shouldnt be making a loud grinding noise id get it checked make sure they removed all shipping bolts

a grinding noise sound i think it come from ballbearing you can chang by qualified person

my washer will not finish spin and reins cycles please HELP ME

Well, Sounds to me like the Bearings are going out, but it could make that noise a good while, before it goes completely out.. Replacement would possably be more cost effective, Kinda hard to beleive !!!!!!

I guess its a bad clutch
