Ron for Model Number Whirlpool wfw9200sq02 I am hearing knocking noise when the washer goes into high spin. Going into the washer through the door and wiggling the inner tub assembly, I can feel some play up and down as well as hear some klunking. Is this a sign that the inner tub spider on the back is failing or could it be the bearing behind?
Answer Hello Ron, This is most likely the spin bearing W10772617. In cases where the spin bearing fails, it is a good idea to inspect the "spider" shaft where it passes through the bearing. When the bearing stops spinning, the support shaft WPW10250573 will take on wear which will accelerate the failure of the new bearing. Read More...
