Haier Drum Bearing Failure

Washer is very noisy during spin; loud rumbling, grinding, or roaring sound.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Worn rear tub bearings, Failed bearing seal allowing water ingress, Damaged drum shaft (spider arm), Loose drum pulley

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Spinning components can be sharp and heavy.

Check for play: With the door open, lift the inner drum up and down. Excessive movement indicates bearing wear.
Spin by hand: Rotate the drum; a rough, grinding feel confirms bearing damage.
Inspect pulley: Remove the rear panel and check that the drum pulley bolt is tight.
Plan for major repair: Bearing replacement on Haier washers usually requires removing the tub and pressing out bearings. This is a complex repair often best done by a professional.
