End of spin cycle on washer

Upon the end of the spin cycle (at the end of the wash) the washer makes a loud screeching noise. Something needed to be lubricated? Thank you, in advance, for the assistance.

I just made this repair and was able to clean lining and drum and coat with silicone spray, did not have tool for brake spring. the spring and gravity took care of removal (BE CAREFUL), and for re-installation I used longer screws of same thread size and pitch(10-24x1-1/2",I believe) and was able to pull brake drum back into place. suggest pulling from 3 screws evenly spaced around drum,a little at a time(2-3 turns each). on my machine,the extra length of screw was on no concern, but check yours. after tightening, you can re-install origional screws one at a time, they may be better suited for it(locking head). If you have the machine leaning on it's side as I did, it will help to remove front panel and support the wash tub on the side to keep it from sliding off center, I used a wad of rags. It works fine, if it will last(silicone). If parts and money are not an issue, I would probably use new stuff.GOOD LUCK

Flip, the screeching is probably coming from the brake rotor lining. I've seen this a lot on Maytag top loaders. It's not the easiest job to do. You have to remove the pulley, thrust bearing assy. then you need a special tool to take the tension off the brake spring, remove the stator and snubber to replace the brake rotor lining assy. You could take it apart and see if it will clean up, but usually the brake has to be changed. Check out the picture...Catriver..post back.

My Maytag washer model MAV208DAWWmakes a loud screech at the end of the spin cycle, and the clothes are sill wet

That is the brake. Your clutch maybe wearing out. Or the belt maybe slipping because the rollers for the motor maybe wearing out.

Whirlpool Model #: WTW4800XQ making a loud grinding noise during or at end of spin cycle. Help!

I have a similar model (WTW4850XQ1) that was making a very loud grinding/screeching noise during the agitation and sometimes the spin cycle. I unplugged and turned it on its front to get underneath and exposed the motor/transmission unit. Took the cover off the belt drive assembly and my drive gear was loose. Simple tightening down of the nut was an easy fix for me. But some times those plastic gears between the drive pulley assembly and transmission crack or the teeth wear down (think it's called the CAM). That is a fairly cheap and easy fix as well ($35). Repair Clinic website has free videos on how to diagnose and fix issues and parts as well. Worth a look.

Big Thunk when Frigidarie Front Loading washing machine started the final spin cycle, then at the end of the cycle soft screeching sound when drum is moving back and forth, any thoughts? [email protected]

does not sound good. if you can remove a cover on front bottom or on the back you may find a broken shock, or counter weight, either would need replacing before running again

Washer makes a loud, pulsing, screeching noise with no spinning

Sounds like a transmission problem. Not worth the repair judging from age.

Loud screeching noise when the wash and spin cycle ends

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

could be the brakes, if the loud noise is like a screech probably your brake rotor and lining need replacing.
