Washer Repair

The best way I can describe the problem would be a metal on metal loud squealing noise when it starts to spin. I replaced the pump,clutch & cam -agit. 9-2012.The machine ran like a top until recently. The noise does seem to be getting louder at each use. However It still does wash the cloths good. Any suggestion to what might be the causing this problem. I hate to have to replace the machine. I am capable of repairing it if I no the cause of the problem. Thanks for any input.

Hi Todd,

Check out the brake pads and the drive block. While checking the brakes, check the bottom part of the basket drive where the drive cam attached. Post the results.

You can find more information about brakes in one of our previous threads Replacing direct drive washer brake shoes

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for Whirlpool LSQ9549LW0 Washer - AppliancePartsPros.com
