Roger for Model Number Kenmore washer 11022996101 I have 2 questions: (1) I hear gargling sounds from the washer after drain cycle. Is it normal? What does it mean? (2) How should I reduce shaking of the washer during spin cycles? If parts are needed, please let me know their numbers.Thanks.
Answer Roger, Yes, the "gurgling" noise after the tub has drained is "normal" The drain pump is "sucking" air through the tub and directing it through the water that remains in the hoses after the drain cycle. Under some circumstances, minor vibration can be "normal" as well. Check and make sure the washer is installed on a good, solid floor, the washer is level, and the front feet are as close to the base of the cabinet and locked in place, Then check the rear self levelling rear feet are level and locked in place. Open the lid, grasp the top of the agitator and move the tub in a circular motion and check that the tub moves freely and isn't "sticking" in any position. Once all is done and the washer is back in position. Place the timer in the final spin/drain cycle and start the machine, stand in front of the washer about 6 to 10 inches away from the front. If you can feel vibration in your feet, then the floor is a bit weak and causing the remainder of the vibration. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, March 17, 2017
