Default How to Replace Bad Bearing/Leaky tub
Model Number: flse72gcs4   Brand: Frigidaire   Age: 5 - 10 years   

I have a stackable Fridgidaire washer/dryer thats making a lot of noise (grinding/whining noise) when in spin cycle and has a small drip leak - it appears to also be spatting a bit of oil of some sort?

What parts do I need and how to tackle repair?

Click for parts breakdown.

If you are leaking oil and water you may need a tub seal and a tranny. This is a pretty big job we wont have any step by step directions but I can provide you with the parts information.

Click for outer tub bearing.

Click for water seal.

Click for transmission.

If you feel like you want to repair the tranny, some parts are available if you can determine where the oil is.

Tranny breakdown.

Pull the belt off the tranny and turn tranny pulley both ways, if it feels rough in spin direction, you have a bad tranny. Look above tranny for water marks. If present, you have bad tub bearings/seals. Click on your model # for parts.
