Shannon January 22, 2026 for Model Number NTW4516FW4 Did my bearings go bad? My 2023 Amana top load washer is pretty loud during spin cycle currently.
1 Answer Shannon, thank you for the question. For your model, the bearings are in the gearcase assembly. This is usually where the roar in the spin comes from. https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-gearcase-w11454741-ap6993917.html Read More...
Josh January 14, 2026 for Model Number WTW4816FW0 My washing machine sounds like it’s about to take off whenever the spin cycle is on. The washer is balanced and it is working normally - but really loud. Would this mean that the gearbox is failing?
1 Answer Josh, thanks for the question. Yes, this would be an issue with the gearcase assembly. Read More...

Dan January 04, 2026 for Model Number WTW4816FW3 My 2023 Whirlpool washer was draining constantly so I changed the control board (which solved the draining issue), but it’s also been louder on the spin cycle. There’s a loud roaring noise whenever it spins. Do I need a gearcase as well?
1 Answer Thanks for your question, Dan. The noise is likely the bearings (loud roar), and the bearings are a part of the gearcase on your model. Read More...

Jared November 27, 2025 for Model Number NTW4605EW0 I recently changed the gearcase for a loud “jet engine” noise during the spin cycle and oil leakage. The loud spin has stopped but it’s making a loud grinding noise on the agitation now. The spin cycle is quiet now and it’s not leaking oil anymore. Did I receive a defective transmission?
1 Answer Jared, thanks for your question, Ensure that the lower splutch and pulley assemblies are in correctly and not rubbing or dragging, and the lower pulley is tight and not scrubbing on the lower cover. Read More...
