Electrolux Washer is making loud noise

If your Electrolux washer is making loud noise, start by checking whether the shipping bolts and foam block were removed from the rear of the machine. These shipping materials keep the tub from moving during transport and can cause a noisy washing machine if they remain installed. If the washer is loud when spinning, the tub bearing is the most likely failed part. A worn bearing can make your washing machine making noise when spinning, and replacing it usually requires major disassembly. If you also notice water leaking from the bottom of the tub, the tub seal and bearing kit may be defective. The rear drum with bearing, or a separate washing machine bearing, can also cause a grinding or rumbling sound and may need to be replaced with the outer tub or rear drum assembly. Finally, an improperly balanced load can make the washer shake or create banging sounds, especially when light and heavy items are mixed. Wash similar-weight items together and add garments when needed to balance the load. Enter your model number to find the exact Electrolux replacement part for your specific washing machine.

01 - Shipping bolts have not been removed

Shipping bolts and a foam block are often used when transporting new washing machines to prevent the tub from moving and becoming damaged. Confirm the bolts (located at the rear of the washer) and the foam block have been removed before operating the appliance.

02 - Electrolux Washing Machine Tub Bearing

The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together.

03 - Electrolux Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit

The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the washer is noisy during the spin cycle or is leaking from the bottom of the tub near the transmission, the tub seal and bearing are likely defective. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing the outer tub and bearing at the same time.

04 - Electrolux Washing Machine Rear Drum with Bearing

The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult. Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.

06 - Improperly balanced load

If there are light and heavy items in the same load, or too few items, the tub can spin out of balance. Wash items with aproximately the same weight together, and consider adding items if necessary, to better balance the load.
