Possible Causes

Worn rear drum bearings, Failed tub seal allowing water into bearings, Damaged bearing housing, Bent drum shaft (spider arm)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Do not continue to run the machine with severe grinding noise as it can cause further damage.

  • Check drum play: Open the door and lift the inner drum up and down. Excessive movement or clunking indicates worn bearings.
  • Spin by hand: Rotate the drum manually. A rough, growling sound confirms bearing wear.

Bearing replacement on Dawlance front-load washers requires disassembling the tub and is a complex repair. Contact a qualified technician to replace the bearing kit and tub seal.
