If your Gaggenau washing machine is making loud noise, start by checking whether the shipping bolts and foam block were removed from the rear of the washer. These parts keep the tub secure during transport but will cause severe noise and movement if left installed. If the washer is especially loud when spinning, the tub bearing is the most likely internal cause. A worn bearing can prevent the inner tub from spinning smoothly and may require replacing the outer tub and bearing assembly. A defective tub seal and bearing kit can create the same washing machine noise when spinning and may also cause water to leak from the bottom of the tub. The rear drum with bearing or a separate bearing may also be damaged, though replacing these components can require extensive disassembly. Finally, check for an improperly balanced load because mixed-weight items or too few garments can make the washer noisy or cause banging during the spin cycle. Enter your model number to find the exact Gaggenau replacement part for your specific washing machine, including the correct tub bearing, seal and bearing kit, or rear drum assembly.
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 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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.

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.
