Admiral Washer Repair – North Canton, OH (FEX831FS)

We recently serviced an Admiral FEX831FS stackable washer in North Canton that was making a loud screech sound during the rinse and spin cycles. The customer described it as sounding like a bolt or belt was loose. Our diagnosis revealed the unit needed new seals and bearings to eliminate the noise.

The Problem

During the rinse cycle spin, this Admiral washer was producing a loud screech sound that the homeowner described as sounding like a bolt or belt loose. The unit would turn off due to the issue. This was part of a stackable washer/dryer set.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found that the unit needed new seals, bearings, and related components. The loud screeching during spin was caused by worn-out spin bearings and deteriorated seals that allowed the drum assembly to operate improperly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 3204405 spin bearing, 5308002401 washer, 5303279394 seal
• Work performed: Replaced spin bearing, seals, and washer components
• Result: Unit sounds good and operates properly through all cycles

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral washers are generally reliable units, and bearing/seal replacements are worthwhile repairs on most models. This type of repair typically extends the washer’s life significantly, making it a cost-effective choice compared to replacement, especially for stackable units where the installation costs can be higher.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Washers

• Avoid overloading the drum, which puts extra stress on bearings and seals
• Use the appropriate amount of detergent to prevent excess suds that can damage seals
• Address unusual noises promptly before bearing damage becomes more extensive
