A Canton homeowner called us when their Admiral washer started making a terrible scraping sound during the wash cycle. They couldn’t remove the front panel to investigate the noise themselves. What we found was a simple but important installation issue.
The Problem
When the washer gets to the “wash” cycle it starts to make a terrible scraping around. The homeowners couldn’t get the front panel off to see if there was something scraping the drum.
Diagnosis
The washer was sitting on blocks which caused the pulley to hit the floor during operation. This created the scraping noise the customer was hearing during the wash cycle.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None required
- Work performed: Removed blocks from under the washer
- Result: Problem appears to be resolved
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral washers are typically budget-friendly models that can provide reliable service when properly installed and maintained. This particular issue required no parts and minimal labor, making it an easy fix that restored normal operation.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Washers
- Ensure the washer is level and sits directly on the floor without makeshift blocks or supports
- Check that all four leveling feet make solid contact with the floor
- Keep the area around and under the washer clear to prevent interference with moving parts
