How do i repair a lg washer that makes a grinding noise when slowing down from spin cycle

The washer was not draining completely or agitating or spinning at all. I did a master reset, and it's working properly, except for the grinding noise when changing speeds or stopping the spin cycle. It gets REALLY loud as the very end of the spin cycle.

It sounds as if the tub bearing on your machine is faulty. To replace this bearing one needs to basically strip down the entire machine.
Not a job for a novice.

If the 'loud noise' water sloshing you should first check that the pump filter isn't blocked. This sometimes stops the pump altogether. Coins, etc..If the noise is metallic it could mean bearings...Check the pump via the small door at floor level...Mind the water inside the machine. You may be able to drain first with a small hose which is inside the pump access door.....Nomess

SOURCE: Loud humming on spin cycle slow down lg washer

Hi Charlie,

We too have an LG - purchased purely because its "drum is directly driven by a motor" and NOT driven by rubber belts which are slower and can wear and break and are noisy - It is ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL that ALL washing machines on EARTH are LEVEL or else ALL H*LL will break loose! The LG machine is SCREAMING to be LEVELED!
Use a spirit level sitting on top of the machine to check that your LG is NOT sloping is level if NOT then adjust the feet accordingly. Check your machine for level VERTICALLY and also level from FRONT TO BACK. This is a B*STARD of a job to do. If you can't be bothered with it or don't have cash to buy a spirit level then ask around for a local retired handy person who would be thrilled to do it for you in exchange for a few PINTS OF BEER. Also take care that your Washing Machine
DRUM is NOT overloaded or OUT-OF-BALANCE - evenly distribute YOUR WASHING in it. FINGERS CROSSED. ;)

I have an LG top loading washer, model WT4870CW. During the wash cycle the machine makes a grinding noise. The noise does not occur during draining and spin cycles. Any idea what could be the issue?

Is your agitator moving back and fourth, when on wash cycle
Could be your plastic agitator spline is stripped,

Take it out and check the plastic teeth is not worn inside.

Agitator now moving VERY slow one way, making loud grinding noise

Hi, this is a bad transmission gear box that is stripped at the moment. i recommend purchasing a agitator kit and a new transmission Assembly and clutch as well. this will fix your issues

My Capacity Plus Admiral Washer will spin and agitate, but it makes a loud grinding noise.

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 !!!!!!

Kenmore Washing Machine 70 series

You most likely have a broken coupler between the motor and gearcase.
You can buy the part for about $10 or have someone come out and replace it for about $150-200.
If you will post the complete model number from the the washer so I can see which style cabinet you have, I will try to walk you through the repair. It isn't very complicated if you are handy with home repairs.
With the age of the machine it probably just needs a coupler, but it could also have a problem in the transmission or basket drive that has caused the failure.

Grinding niose from agitator.

If the fill and drain functions correctly, AND the spin cycle works correctly, AND the cycle itself starts and completes correctly, the problem being that the back and forth motion of the agitator starts the loud grinding noise, it will likley be broken gears in the transmission. The single most expensive part in the washing machine.
