A Whirlpool washer in Canton was making loud bumping noise when spinning. We diagnosed worn tub support pads and installed new teflon pads to restore quiet operation.
The Problem
The customer reported their washer making loud bumping noise when spinning. This type of noise typically indicates worn suspension components or tub support issues that develop over years of use.
Diagnosis
Inspection revealed worn teflon pads under the tub. These pads cushion the tub assembly and prevent metal-on-metal contact during the spin cycle. When they wear down, the tub can shift and create loud bumping noises.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 285744 — Teflon pads
- Work performed: Installed new teflon pads under the tub
- Result: Washer now operates quietly through all cycles
Is It Worth Repairing?
The LSQ9110KQ1 is a solid Whirlpool top-load washer built for durability. Replacing worn tub pads is a straightforward repair that extends the machine’s life significantly. These washers typically run 15-20 years with proper maintenance, making this repair worthwhile for most units.
Maintenance Tips for Whirlpool Washers
- Keep loads balanced to reduce stress on suspension components and tub supports
- Clean the lint filter regularly if equipped to prevent drainage issues
- Run a cleaning cycle monthly with washer cleaner to prevent buildup
