Rich for Model Number WTW4950XW2 I am reasonably sure that the gearcase needs replacing on mine, based on the noise. It had been working (while extremely noisy) till now, but it stopped spinning the clothes out and then stopped altogether. In manual test mode when I activate the low spin or high spin, the motor starts to turn for a few seconds then it just peters out, so my question is, although I can spin it by hand, is it not able to get the drum spinning now because there is just too much resistance due to the bad bearings?
Answer Rich, You will want to check the pulley on the bottom of the unit to ensure that it is on tight and if the pulley is tight then based on the noise issue it does sound like it would be a bearing issue. The gearcase would need to be replaced for this issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, February 17, 2016
