Barbara G for Model Number pav2300aww I hear a whining sound. Motor is not secured. Do I need a suspension spring to hold motor in place to the plate? What secures the plate to the frame of bottom?
Answer Hello Barbara, The motor is attached to a plate which is attached to the base of unit. The motor is supposed to move forward and backward. There is a spring that should be on the motor attached to the plate. If the unit is making a whining noise during agitation then I would suspect the brake making the noise or something in the pump or bearing on pump going bad. If it is making noise during the spin I would suspect that the tub bearing is going bad or the pump bearing going out or something clogged in the pump. Read More...
