Whirlpool Washer Repair – Alliance, OH (WTW8000BW0)

A Whirlpool washer in Alliance was making loud knocking noise during cycles and was extremely loud during spin and drain. Our diagnosis revealed failed bearings — a common failure point that creates unmistakable noise when the drum assembly loses proper support.

The Problem

The customer reported that their washer was making loud knocking noise during cycles and it was extremely loud during spin and drain. These symptoms typically indicate bearing failure, where the drum can no longer rotate smoothly within the tub assembly.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we confirmed the bearings had failed completely. When washer bearings deteriorate, they create increasingly loud noises as metal components grind against each other without proper lubrication and support.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W10435302 — bearing assembly
• Work performed: Replaced the bearings on the washer
• Result: Issue is resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

Whirlpool washers are generally built for longevity, and bearing replacement can extend the life significantly on models that aren’t excessively old. This repair addresses a fundamental mechanical issue that, once fixed, typically provides years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers

• Avoid overloading — excessive weight accelerates bearing wear in Whirlpool direct-drive models
• Level the washer properly to prevent uneven bearing stress during spin cycles
• Address unusual noises early before bearing damage becomes severe and costly
