noisy spin cycle.
 

Hello gene,

thank you for your reply.i had taken the front panel afew times
already but can't exactley tell where the noise is coming from
but i am suspecting mostely from buttom,so could it be the
clutch bearing or radial bearing?

I also needed to know where can i get the spanner wrench
in case if i have to remove the tub off to get to tub bearing.
any info is appericiated.thanks

Sounds like the problem is a bad tub bearing. The seal should be replaced too. It comes with the instructions.

- The washer stem and seal kit Part number: 6-2095720
