Thanks very much - Shellsbells

The good news.for a service engineer this can be done quickly and easily.the bad news ..no service engineer worth his salt would change just the bearings on this model..best bet is to buy the whole back 1/2 tub containing the bearings.for more info contact me on [email protected]

Before starting with the your repair just try adjusting the washing machine's leg or reduce the load.

Samsung front load washer Model WF209ANW/XAA. Washer made a terrible rumbling noise when shutting down after a wash cycle. Had a burning odor when I opened the door like perhaps a belt.

Probably the spider arm or a bearing. Probably time for a new washer

Noisy spinning

First make sure that the load is balanced, if you are washing and spinning a dense load like trainers etc this can cause an imbalance. If you are washing a duvet cover or a pillowcase, make sure that the loose clothes washed with it haven't migrated inside the cover or case, this happens so easily. It is always worth checking that the support feet are all touching the ground when the washing machine is empty as this can cause excessive noise
hope this helpsKind regards ki

Why does my washing machine make a load noise on the last 6 minutes of the spin cycle..especially when I have bed linens in.

It is not unusual for a machine to make a lot of noise and jump about when washing sheets as they can sit out of ballance in the drum. That is why the drum turns to and fro and short spins trying to balance the wash. If how ever the noise is rumbling like a big lorry going by, then I'm afraid it sounds like your drum bearings have gone. Replace bearings by an engineer or replace machine either is expensive.

When on spin,the drum is rattling and making a lot of noise

More than likely the main drum bearings have failed.
From the front of the washer, spin the drum by hand, and if it feels rough, or is rumbling or grating, then the bearings have failed.

Washer makes thumping noise when spinning and belt jumps off

I suspect that the main drum bearings have failed.
Remove the belt, and from the front spin drum by hand, if it feels rough or is rumbling or noisy, then drum bearings have failed.
Can be expensive!!!!

Machine makes awful noise during any movement, spins very slowly, not enough to spin out. Making an awful noise, like stripped gears and won't drain

There are three reasons for such awful noise during spinning. Either the drum or the bearing turning the drum. Check for drum bearing failure if your washing machine is noisy on the spin cycle. Drum bearing failure is common when the bearing seals start allowing water to enter. You can take the belt off and spin the drum by hand, and if the drum rumbles, replace the bearings.

Thanks

LG washing machine repair

hiya
is it a rumbling noise? if so it may be the drum bearings are in need of replacing. two tell tale signs are
1, check clothes for any black speckles, as this is a clear indication that the bearing seal is worn and that oil and grease from the bearings are entering the wash tub.

2, whilst the drum is empty see if there is any movement in the drum, the easiest way is to place four fingers inside the lip of the drum and place your thumb on the door seal and pull it towards you in an up and down motion. if there is any movement then the bearings need replaced.

hope this helps
