A Maytag washer in Strasburg was making noise during the wash cycle and producing a very loud screech sound lasting 30 seconds to a minute during the rinse cycle. Our diagnostic revealed an over suds condition error code F0E2 and traced the noise to a loose nut on the splutch assembly.
The Problem
The customer reported that their washer makes a noise when in the wash cycle and just starting making a very loud screech sound that last 30 seconds to a minute during the rinse cycle. The loud screeching during rinse was particularly concerning and disruptive.
Diagnosis
During our inspection, we found an over suds condition detected F0E2 error code. The root cause of the noise was that the nut on the bottom of the splutch assembly had worked loose, causing the mechanical components to vibrate and create the loud screeching sound during operation.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts needed
- Work performed: Retightened the loose nut on the bottom of the splutch assembly with Loctite thread locker
- Result: Eliminated the noise and screeching sound during wash and rinse cycles
