Lisa for Model Number Whirlpool Duet Hi! We just had some bearings replaced on our washer, the spider was corroded but still one solid piece. The loud banging noise has finally disappeared from the spin cycle, however now a banging noise appears when the spin cycle is going from a high rpm and slowing down to a stop. It seems like the basket might be rubbing on the gasket bellows or on the bearings seal. The steel basket seems to sit a little low but it is not touching the plastic outer tub whereas before the bearing repair they were touching. However I would say there is much more of a gap between the outer and inner tub at the top of the tub than there is at the bottom of the tub. Maybe from gravity? How can I know if our new bearings are bad or if the springs were placed on the wrong place when the drum was removed? What else could it be? Maybe new shocks are needed? There are no noises during wash or spin, only when spin is slowing down it seems.
Answer Lisa, You will want to check the spider again because this will most likely be the cause for the issue with the unit being lower in the front than the back. With it being corroded it is very possible to be broken. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, October 15, 2015
