Wladyslaw S. for Model Number WM347OHWA The washing machine is level. In the spin cycle on high does not spin smoothly and the load is not heavy. Can the spider go bad in a 10-year-old machine?
Answer Hello Wladyslaw, The spider is more likely to fail as the machine gets older. You can check the spider by opening the door and lifting and releasing the top of the spin basket. Turn the spin basket 1/3rd of a turn and lift the spin basket again. Turn the spin basket another 1/3rd of a turn and repeat the lifting of the front of the spin basket. If there is more play in the spin basket in any of the three positions, there is a spider (4434ER0002H and six 4011FA4353E) issue. If there is no difference in the amount of play, the issue will most likely be the bearings, 4280FR4048N, MAP61913707, and 4036ER2004A. Read More...
