Kenmore Washer Repair – Minerva, OH (110.47701800)

A Kenmore washer at a home on Woodale Avenue Southeast in Minerva was making noise when spinning. Our diagnostic revealed the tub support was giving out — a major structural failure that makes this unit uneconomical to repair.

The Problem

The customer called about their washer making noise when spinning. This type of noise during the spin cycle typically indicates worn suspension components or bearing problems.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the tub support seems to be giving out. The tub support system is critical for holding the wash basket steady during operation, and when it fails, the entire assembly becomes unstable and noisy.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None
• Work performed: Diagnostic inspection
• Result: Customer advised replacement was more economical than repair

Is It Worth Repairing?

Tub support failure on older Kenmore washers like this model typically requires extensive disassembly and multiple expensive components. Given the age of this unit and the complexity of the repair, we recommended shopping for a replacement washer instead of investing in major structural repairs.

Maintenance Tips for Kenmore Washers

• Avoid overloading — excess weight accelerates wear on tub support components
• Keep loads balanced to reduce vibration stress on the suspension system
• Check and clean the drain filter monthly to prevent drainage issues that can cause imbalanced spins
