Danby Washer is making loud noise
When your Danby washing machine is making loud noise, start by checking whether the shipping bolts and foam block were removed. These transport materials keep the tub from moving and can cause a noisy washing machine if they remain installed. If your washer is loud when spinning, the tub bearing is the next likely 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, especially if you also see water leaking from the bottom near the transmission. The rear drum with bearing or a separate washing machine bearing may also be damaged, but these repairs require extensive disassembly and can be costly. Finally, an improperly balanced load can make the washer shake and bang, so wash items of similar weight together. Enter your Danby model number to find the exact replacement tub bearing, tub seal and bearing kit, rear drum, or other 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 - Danby 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 - Danby 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 - Danby 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.
