What are washing machine bearings?
Bearings let the drum of your washing machine spin and revolve without problems throughout the wash cycles. They wear down over time from:
- Continuous rapid rotations
- Contact with water or detergent leaks.
- General wear and age
Once damaged, defective bearings may produce loud noise, drum wobbling, and, if not replaced, drum failure.
Indices Your Washing Machine Bearing Needs Replacing
Look out for warning indicators before starting the replacement process:
- Intense rumbling or pounding sounds throughout the spin cycle
- Extreme drum movement or vibration
