Farley for Model Number Whirlpool Washer W102805461 # on the manual Hello, Thanks in advance for your help. I already replaced the splutch kit on my washer and I’m still hearing the ticking noise between the wash and spin cycles. Also very recently the washer does sound like an airplane taking off during the spin cycle. I suspect this is the motor bearing. This washing machine is about 10 years old and has seen heavy use. I guess my question is is it worth fixing whatever is still causing the ticking and changing the bearing compared to just buying a new washing machine. Thanks for your opinion. Thanks, Farley
Answer Farley, So the loud noise would be the bearing. The gearcase comes with the bearing on this unit and not able to be replaced any other way. About a 200.00 part. The ticking is probably the actuator not shifting from agitate to spin. Another 40 dollar part. So upwards of 250.00 on an older unit is a pretty hefty repair bill. I would price a similar unit that is new and make a decision. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, December 30, 2019
