Washer loud in spin? Learn bearing replacement symptoms, causes, error codes, fixes, and when to call a repair tech.
Grinding or roaring washers point to failed drum bearings. Learn the signs, causes, related error codes, safe quick checks, and when replacement is required.
Washer drum bearings support high‑speed spin cycles. When they wear, noise, vibration, and leaks follow. Replacing bearings restores smooth spinning and prevents costly tub or motor damage. Although challenging, it extends washer life and avoids buying a new unit.
Causes include years of wear, overloading, or seal failure letting water reach bearings. Rust, corrosion, and detergent residue also accelerate damage. Unbalanced loads and excessive vibration weaken the bearing races. Poor installation or shipping bolt errors may misalign the tub.
Error codes: Samsung/ LG may show LE/3E motor errors from bearing drag. Whirlpool/Maytag: F7E1 spin speed errors. GE: E43/E44 imbalance. Bosch: imbalance shutdowns. Codes reflect motor strain or spin failure, not bearings directly.
Quick fixes: redistribute loads, level washer, reduce detergent. But if roaring persists, bearings need replacement. DIY requires special tools to press bearings and reseal tub. Kits are available for many models. Always replace seals with bearings to prevent water ingress.
Symptoms include loud roaring or grinding during spin, metal scraping, or water leaking from the rear. Drum may wobble by hand. Clothes may remain wet due to reduced spin speed. Vibration worsens as bearings collapse. Long cycles or motor strain errors may appear.
Call a pro if noise is extreme, leaks appear, or DIY tools are unavailable. Bearing jobs require full tub removal and press tools. Professionals replace bearings, seals, and test balance. This restores quiet spin and avoids buying a new washer.

Great people to deal with. Called and set up appointment right away. Mark came and fixed the issue right away. Very friendly and respectful. Will use again. Thanks guys.
Excellent experience with Vlad! He came day of to help fix a laundry machine issue. He was on time, a clear communicator about the issue and fixed it with ease. He came back the following day (at no charge!) when I reached out with further information about how the machine was working to confirm everything was working properly/as intended. Excellent service and will absolutely be working with them again when we have future needs. Can’t recommend enough!
Vlad has been an incredible asset. In the few months we've known him, he's already fixed a dryer, two washing machines, and an oven! He's always very upfront with the repairs needed and the associated costs with fixing an appliance. I wouldn't hesitate at all to hire him for any future appliances in need of repair
I split my time between Italy and NYC and manage several Airbnb units. Scheduling used to take too much energy around guest check-ins and turnovers. With Volt & Vector Appliance Repair, the routine became predictable: clear 2-hour windows (9–11am or 12–2pm), a text with ETA, written pricing (diagnostic credited), before/after photos, and a short summary after each visit. Over ~30 repairs in two years: washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, a refrigerator seal. They’ve kept me informed and moved quickly on parts (usually 24–48 hours when ordered). Access and lockboxes are handled without drama, work areas are left clean, and my reviews stayed steady. Hosting from abroad is easier when maintenance is this consistent. Strong recommend for Brooklyn and Manhattan hosts.
