Why is my front loader noisy at end of cycle in spin?
Starts with a tick, tick sound then gets noisier rumble in higher spin. Gets stuck at 5-7 min, rinses and spins. Tried spin only, that I just figured out I could do by not picking a cycle and still had tick but not as loud noise in spin.

LE code mean suds have built up. Using non he (High Efficiency) detergent or too much detergent will cause this error most front loaders use he detergent only there is a he swirl on the container
Let your washer sit idle or 45 minutes.Unplg washer as well
Plug in and turn on as left spin speed select no spin press Start/pause to start a drain only cycle. When cycle is complete remove load. Start a rinse•spin cycle to clean out residue.
If the sud were too much you may have to repeat
i am guessing the rubber is from the door seal gasket and i am guessing that the clicking and noise and shaking is from the bearing that the drum spins on being worn out. not an unheard of issue. there are some very good videos on taking the washer apart and replacing the bearings if you are up for it. check out repairclinic.com or appliancepartspros.com. enter your model number and look for the corresponding videos. lots of steps, but really not all that hard. just label the parts/screws so they go back where they came from. all you may need is the bearing(2) and the seal. (get a homedepot 5 gallon bucket as a support for your drum as you work on it). i am pretty handy and a bit of a risk taker(its is already broken so how can i break it more?) and did this from the videos having never worked on a washer of this type before. good luck.
Sounds like the Drum Bearings are gone they are **** on Hotpoint..Could be quite expensive depending on age...3 years old you will need a half drum complete with Bearings approx cost £80 plus labour....if more than 4 yrs old then perhaps bearing kit plus 3 hrs labour....Hotpoint give a FREE 5 yrs parts warranty however CALL CHARGE....£105 approx parts are free.....You need to ecide if you should fix or just buy a new one........
If it is a front loader, then remove the rear panel, remove the belt, and soin drum by hand, if it feels rough, or is noisy and rumbling, then the main drum bearings have failed.
This is a major repair.
From the front of the washer, spin the drum by hand, and if it feels rough, or is noisy, or rumbling, then the main drum bearings have failed..
If no noise, then problem is elsewhwere.
Hope this helps.
If this sound starts slow and gets faster till its helicopter sounding you probly have a verry worn spot on the drive belt when that spot goes around the pully it will thump the faster ti spins the more frequent the sound If you tilt the washer back you should be able to see the belt to examine it if this the problem
replace the belt
Hope this helps
please leave feedback
It would be noisier than normal if it was not level.
Best way to tell if it is noisier than normal is to spin the drum by hand, there should be little or no noise from it.
If it is noisy or rumbling, or feels rough, then I would suspect that the drum bearings are worn and noisy.
An hour to complete a wash cycle is not abnormal, and they do do several rinses.
sounds like the water seal in front of the drum bearings has failed causing grease from the bearings to get into the washtub this is usually accompanied by noisy spin cycle and rumbling noises from the drum when it is turning
