Duet washer very noisy during spin cycle noticed it has rubbed rubber boot. I have only had a month, does it matter I bought at close out place? Would that avoid manfacture warranty?the basket moves very freely up and down and round and round.

Hi Michelle,

Unfortunately, this sounds suspiciously like the drum supports spider has broken. An easy way to tell whether or not this is happened is to open the door and reach in and grab the lip of the steel in her basket. Try to move the basket up-and-down back-and-forth. If it moves at all independently of the outer drum then you have a broken drum supports spider. If this is the case, the washer is a total.

Hi John,

It’s probably not very helpful or useful to use a disassembly video for another washer brand and try to apply it to your Bosch washer. It’s the little details in disassembly that can git ya.

We don’t have a disassembly video for the Bosch washer yet. But the service manual is excellent and that we do have in the Downloads section of the Appliantology Academy ==> http://appliantology.org/files/file/72-bosch-wfmc-front-load-washer-training-manual-1st-edition/

You’ll need to be an Apprentice in the Academy to download the manual; come snatch this pebble from my hand ==> http://apprentice.appliantology.org/

I have an Oasis with a loud spin cycle. Is this repair from the top or from below?

Here’s what the Samurai told him during live chat. Obviously, the images were added later but the voice reply is real– that’s how live chat is done at www.Fixitnow.com and www.ApplianceGuru.com

Washer will not final spin in Regular wash. But works fine in all other cycles. It skips to the last part of the spin cycle and leaves water in machine. I just move switch to other cycle and it works fine. Looking for trouble shooting manual or repair manuals for this washer. 417.40042990 washer model #

If the washing machine is not doing the final spin, then it is probably not spinning during the other parts of the cycle, either. You probably haven’t sat in front of the washer to babysit it during a complete cycle to see whether or not this is the case, though I can guarantee you it is.

The fact that the washer is leaving water in the tub is the key to the problem here. The rule with front loaders is this: no pumpy, no spinny.

So, to begin this repair journey, you would begin right at the pump itself. The first thing to find out is whether or not the pump is actually running during the spin cycle. You can do this by listening (if you know what you’re listening for) or by checking for voltage 120vac at the pump wire harness during the beginning of the spin cycle.

If the pump is getting voltage but not running, then the pump is bad; replace it. ==> http://www.repairclinic.com/Washing-Machine-Parts

If the pump is getting voltage and you hear it running– or trying to run– then either the pump is bad or the drain hose is plugged. To proceed in this case, remove the drain hose from the pump, pucker up and blow like a fish. You should clear an initial slug of water and then the drain hose should blow through freely. If the drain hose is clear, and you hear the pump running during the spin cycle, then the the pump is bad; replace it. ==> http://www.repairclinic.com/Washing-Machine-Parts

I noticed my washer was leaking water and i took the front cover off and noticed that on the bottom of the outer plastic tub there is a crack would an epoxy cement seal this up .I checked on the replacement of the tub and it is costly.

This is an easy fix using 3M 800 tub sealant adhesive. Or you can use a spiffy product called Slap Stix made for this very purpose. Either way, it’s a pretty easy and reliable repair.

If you need help disassembling your washer to get at the crack in the outer tub, come start a new topic in the Laundry Forum at the Appliantology Academy and we shall reveal that kata to you ==> www.Appliantology.org

Yep, they’re all three the same ezzact washer, all made by Whirlpool.

Two ways to go on this job: replace just the tub bearings or replace the entire tub with the bearing pre-assembled at the factory. Pro’s and con’s with each method.
