Whirlpool Washer Repair – Navarre, OH (WTW8900BC0)

A Whirlpool washer in Navarre was making loud noises during the spin cycle, with the customer suspecting bearing failure. Our diagnosis confirmed the bearings had indeed failed, requiring a complete bearing assembly replacement to restore quiet operation.

The Problem

The customer reported that the washer sounds loud when spinning and suspected it needs bearing replaced.

Diagnosis

The bearings had failed on the wash machine. Failed bearings create excessive noise during the spin cycle as the drum assembly loses its smooth rotation support.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10435302-BEARING — bearing assembly with shaft, upper and lower bearing and seal
• Work performed: We installed a new shaft, upper and lower bearing and seal
• Result: After installing the parts we ran the machine through a test cycle to make sure everything is operating correctly

Is It Worth Repairing?

Whirlpool washers are generally well-built machines, and bearing replacement is often worthwhile if the unit is under 10-12 years old. The WTW8900BC0 is a higher-end model that should provide many more years of service with new bearings installed properly.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers

• Avoid overloading the drum — excess weight accelerates bearing wear on Whirlpool top-load models
• Use HE detergent only to prevent excess suds that can damage seals and bearings
• Run the cleaning cycle monthly to prevent buildup that can cause imbalanced loads
