the noise happens when its spinning but no problems with the wash of the cloths. its an very loud noise and the washer does not shake just makes this noise while its in the spinning cycle. I purchase new and this is the first time its been making this type of noise. Will try to locate the model ASAP. thanks

You might have something caught in the tub like a bra band. Or maybe your pump is going sour.
Might want to pull front panel off, just pry off clips on top edges. Look at the top of the transmission and see if there is any water marks where the tub seals have been leaking. Any leak will destroy the tranny bottom bearings.

Hi PS Volunteer - Appguy.
I have the same problem as Countrygal07.
In my case, a leak destroyed the tranny bottom bearings. I dismateled the assembly but I were no success in pull out the bearig nor the external plate. I have special extractor for bearings but it does not work. The bearig does'nt move at all. I suspect it is a blockage or so in the shaft, but I can't detect it and I'm afraid for damage any thing if tray to make pressure in excess.

Do you nave any suggestion or direction for me on how to pull-out that bearing?

Thank You.

For th ist guy,your tranny is covered under warranty, please check.
For mcven, they used to sell these bottom bearings but all repairs with them where miserable failures. Your only choice is a new tranny. Be aware you can probably get one used but considering the amount of labor involved, not a good idea.
