Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: "Ratcheting" noise in wash cycle only

Mon, 17 Nov 2025 17:31:50 -0700

During the wash cycle the machine makes a LOUD ratcheting sound. This is the only time it makes the sound and is not affected by different washing selections. The sound started as brief noise and has grown to a full time noise.

Any ideas?

Washing Machine: Samsung washing machine (wf42h5000aw/a2) will not power on

Tue, 21 May 2024 08:22:00 -0700

The washer will not power on when the power button is pushed. It did turn on intermittently (once every 5-10 times) for a few days, but not at all now.

The main control board (right side) is flashing green every 5 seconds which I believe means it is functioning, or at least getting power. See photo:

When I push the power button, I hear a clicking sound and a green light on the smaller control board (left of photo) flashes 7 times, then goes off.

Thanks for any help!

Whirlpool Washing Machine: whirpool top loader won't agitate or spin, does fill and drain

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 07:49:33 -0700

Got an older Whirpool top loading washer (direct drive). Fills and drains as expected, but won't agitate or spin. The timer goes through the cycles as expected, and I can hear what sounds like a motor turning in there, but it doesn't translate into agitation or spin.

I don't think it's the lid switch as it does make the expected click, and it IIRC this washer will still agitate when the lid is open.

The other symptom is that I cannot turn the agitator with my hand. Or I can only turn it a little bit. Usually with the washer off I can turn it pretty well with just hand strength. Does this indicate a broken coupler or clutch?

Thanks for your help!

Samsung B1445A Washing Machine: loud knocking on spin cycle

Mon, 01 Sep 2025 12:26:20 -0700

Hello. When our samsung front load washer gets to the spin cycle it sounds like horses are galloping through the laundry room. It is under warranty. They replaced shocks....just as bad or maybe even worse. If you are in the room it's so loud you can not hear a person talk beside you. I read a few of the other questions of similar nature on here but didn't see on where shocks had already been replaced and checked that not clothing or foreign objects in machine. I video recorded the sound when I turn drum by hand. The bang happens when you move the drum so simple to reproduce the noise. The tech seemed stumped so I thought I'd ask professionals online. Thank you for any ideas.

Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine: Washer makes very loud noise during spin cycle

Tue, 20 Jan 2026 14:20:52 -0700

My washer makes a very loud noise during the spin cycle (it does not make the load noise during any other cycles). The load is balanced and the drum is not wobbling side to side.

I have the same problem, it’s the drum bearings and seal. The seal leaks and water gets in the bearings and destroys them, hold the outer drum then try to move the inner drum, if it moves at all it’s gone!!

I'm going to pull mine apart and goto an auto parts place to match them! If that doesn't work will try to find them by the old part number on each one, I have two bearings and one seal. Good luck!

Washing machine will not turn on, no selections will work. GFCI power outlet was tripped, I reset the outlet and it does have power. Tried different outlet, same result.

Is there a reset button in washer or any fuses. Made sure lid was fully closed.

The dryer is squeaking when beginning a cycle

After it is warmed up or in use for a few minutes it seems to not be as bad

Is there an easy troubleshooting method?

Could it be a bearing or is it a belt?

Whirlpool Washing Machine: washer has had the error codes F03 and E01.

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 08:10:01 -0700

My whirlpool duet washer has had the error codes F03 and E01. The pressure switch has been replaced 3x’s with no results. Still get that error.

I pointed out that it may be an Air Dome Assembly per service bulletin for this model of washer with the model # WFW95HEDWO. He, “The Tech” answer, even after I showed him the bulletin was “no I don’t think that the problem”. How much is that part and how hard is it to replace? Also, should I pursue this possible fix with Whirlpool?

Thank you,

Samsung Washing Machine: What does the error code 3E mean on my front loader washing machine?

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 10:35:22 -0700

Samsung wf1752wpc

The error code 3E keeps showing up on the machine at the start of the cycle. It won’t spin or start a rinse cycle or anything. I run the machine on test mode and when I select either spin or rinse it comes up with the error. I took the motor out and checked the bushes and they are all fine, but when I remove the top of the washing machine and play around with the wire harnessing and making sure plugs are pushed all the way in (I don’t really feel like I do anything to them) it starts working again! I have done this twice now and then it will stop working again after 4 or 5 washes. I’m not sure what would be causing it but I’m hoping someone could help me narrow it down so I can get it fixed permanently without having to get a new machine. Cheers
