Maytag front load leaking at drum spider

This Maytag is about 9 year old and I've probably already sunk too much $ into repairs. Newest problem just happened today.

Loud banging noise during spin cycle and later discovered water leak. Took back off and ran a short spin and water appears to be coming from where the spider arm attaches to the drum. Likely problem? Worth getting repaired? Thanks.

Probably not. Sounds like bearings and seal is shot.

SOURCE: kenmore front load washer #44072 drum banging noise

I have the same problem...the solution is called new washer. I was told it could be overhauled to the tune about $600...barrings are going out. Mine is just 7 years old and that's disappointing.

SOURCE: Loud banging noise during final high speed spin

I have the HE3T which is 6 yo. Last week it started making a loud banging noise in the spin cycle. I had a repairman come out. He said it is the drum bearings. He said that it is a problem with these machines and to call Sears. He said that the drum and bearing is one assembly and that Sears should cover it.

I called today and Sears todl me that I have to pay for a Sears technician to come out a determine if it is indeed the problem. If so, it will be covered under the lifetime warranty on the drum. I have to pay for the service call $75.00 and if it is the problem, I will be reimbursed. Cross my fingers!

SOURCE: front loader making loud noise with spin cycle

i have the same problem as urs. i open the whole drum myself and replaced the rear bearing. but the actual problem is the bearing housing is loose in plastic drum. so only drum needs to be replaced.
