A year on from this and your still helping people thank you matey you've saved me more than a few quid on an expensive repairman for a lose drum baffle

[@kolankprof]

Excellent coverage of the most common problems with front-loading washers! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@AmitChristian]

One of the most comprehensive troubleshooting video, I have ever seen. It even has a "sample foreign objects" for each troubleshooting issue. Thanks a lot.

[@stevesiedschlag4271]

OH THANK YOU! Shined a light through the outer drum and saw (from inside the basket) what looked liked a pen laying over the top of the drain. Removed the rear panel and pulled the drain hose. Managed to extract a nail set...not a pen. Was randomly making quite a racket! Thanks SO much!

[@jean1959]

I can't thank you enough! I had a very loud noise during fast spin cycle. I cleaned out the drain pump trap and found nothing. After watching your video, I went back to the drain pump and looked inside. WOW there was a twist tie stuck further in. You saved me a BIG bill. THANKS AGAIN!

[@mikec64]

I've never seen a better diagnostic video. You even set up actual problems so we could actually hear and seem them. Outstanding!

[@lemmingr1539]

Thank you! Most other videos say clean the filter and if still a sound call a technician! U just saved me $$$$

[@catlady1017]

I could listen to this gentleman all day he’s very professional and straight to the point 😊

[@TejasNaik01]

Thank you for such in-depth knowledge. It was very insightful. Being a first timer, I was not aware that there could be so many reasons for unpleasant sound.

[@pointblank6467]

This is amazing troubleshooting! Pretty much covered every noise related issue. Thank you so much!

[@borcsa973]

No

[@conniehall2694]

I really appreciate this speaker's clear explanation of each troubleshooting example. I was amazed by all the potential issues that occur from lost items migrating to the inner workings of the washer! This was an extremely valuable presentation. Thank you.

[@jongephart67]

[@TheXmanmtbr2]

Incredible wealth of knowledge in this video. I've learned more hear then the last 8 videos Ive watched. Thank you

[@reinhardtrippmacher8776]

Waow, nice preparation. A tie, a sock, a bra clamp, a coin, a broken filter...so basically anything what could go wrong. Now I know where to start checking. Thanks for the video!

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

Haha, this dude must have a collection of broken washers to have an example of each incident yet mostly in the same brand, "washers everywhere, everywhere son".... Incredibly helpful thanks loads I can tell this took time to produce you did a great job, the music isn't too loud at all and you have exampled and explained things very clearly thank you......👍👌👍

[@wilech2607]

Was about to take my machine apart due to the grinding noise between the drum and the tub. Decided to hold off until I inquire if my unit is still under warranty. They were close when I called. Decided to search the web for causes. Came across this vid. Finish nail on the back of the drum, not on the side as I expected at first may be caught between the drum and the tub. Saved me a lot of work.

[@satanismysuperheropodcast]

Brilliant video. I heard the sound my machine is making in this video and sure enough after spending half my weekend pulling it apart the problem was exactly as predicted in video.

[@satanismysuperheropodcast]

@Ruby Ruby It was the spider assembly. it matched the sound in the video perfectly and when i pulled the machine apart the spider assembly had eroded right through and fell apart in my hands!

[@blairakana9984]

This guy is awesome. Very informative and clearly instructional.

[@mikew151Manhattan]

Amazing vid! 👏 my groaning machine had a zip tie stuck in the pump plug. Great suggestion, worked a treat. Thanks a million 😊 🙏

[@AddictedToJeepsCom]

Excellent video! Very helpful! Sadly I either have a bad set of bearings or the tub support is broken. The tub does not spin freely, is loose when I push from the front to the rear, and has a burnt rubber/plastic smell - the wet clothes actually smell like burnt plastic. Argh.....

[@sathyanarayanan3857]

You are a champion sir, this helped me a lot 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@viviongough2231]

Thank you so much for this video. Thought that the bearing was gone and followed your advice in the video and it turns out that one of the tub supports had worked loose. I tightened the securing screws and finally peace and quiet! Thought we were going to have to replace the machine and had gone around the stores looking for a new machine. Now that its fixed I have told my wife that we should get another 12 years service! Not sure she's a pleased as I am! Brilliant instructions!

[@raonezeviani8070]

This is by far the best video on washing machine issues in youtube! Honestly, I don't know why the youtube algorithm had not brought me here before! Thank you, sir!

[@alanmcarthur2810]

One of the best, most informative, videos I have seen. Great instructional/how to diagnose video!

[@beeboppbaby]

Brilliant instruction...saved me a fortune !

[@eileenmccrory1314]

Excellent presentation and instructional value for numnerous washing machine faults. Throughly endorse this mans video presentation.

[@samblake7327]

Very good explanations. Thank you!

[@cathywright9864]

Thanks again for saving me from an expensive repair. I love my 17 year old front loader. It works like a charm now.

[@olubukunolaozimede1455]

I enjoyed listening to this presentation and I learnt a lot. Thank you!

[@matthewmiller6068]

I'm not sure this helped me solve the noise but it did at least help me identify some things that it is not, so I very much appreciate that. I have an odd clunking almost like an out of balance sound but it looks perfectly balanced only at medium spin speeds and oddly worse with a empty load (like tub clean mode). Doesn't seem to have any play like you describe for bad support or bearing, although ever since we've lived here the drum does not spin super freely but is extremely smooth...though it's also the only front loading washer that I've ever used which made me think that's normal.

[@fbeltran6129]

This guy is The Godfather of washer diagnosis

[@teknotech]

You provided a great bit of knowledge in a fairly short time, and it was quite valuable as well! Thanks a lot for your work on this!!

[@liliganei1621]

You covered pretty much everything By watching your video my husband found our washers issue and fixed it Will try it tomorrow though to see if the loud noise at the very end of cycle is completely gone

[@lindaanglisano1448]

Thank you! The noise descriptions helped immensely!

[@blessgod2882]

[@TATOTEMPRESS]

Thanks for the info ,I now know,I do need a new washer

[@RAZORREVOLUTION1]

That machine had a lot of issues. Stuck clothes, coins, bra coils, plastic and metal objects... I'm surprised it didn't have a dead body in there, too! 😂

[@gondwana6303]

Outstanding! So well explained.

[@StarIessNight]

This video is gold. This entire channel is gold mine! Thank you very much for sharing 👍🏼 Any other time we’d call a technician to fix the washer or probably just get a new one. Now with the lockdown and home quarantine... we have to do things on our own and this video is a saver. Thank you very very very very much ♥️

[@koreanyoon]

Thank you very much for your video, it was very helpful 🙂

[@raymondleung9271]

This video saved me some grief. I was about to take my washer apart because it was making a clicking noise during the spin cycle. I checked between the drum and the rubber ring and sure enough there was a coin there.

[@jhowlogn]

ON POINT!!! There was in fact an article of clothing between the drum and the frame. I was about to open the casing. I chose to search for a solution first. As always. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY EASIER!!! GOD BLESS YOU GOOD SIR!

[@partselect]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paulwithheld6697]

Good article. However, this is dealing with identifying noises .... could you please NOT have music competing with the noise that we are trying to identify? thanks

[@ihavebeenben]

He identifies as that particular rhythm and sound and you are trying to suggest genocide for his kind? Please do not try and diminish this individuals (or they) prefered pronouns! Thank you and have a nice day! ❤🦄🧚‍♀️

[@Geeksmithing]

​@@ihavebeenben go away bot.

[@nathannorton9640]

Great info!

[@jenniferkhong556]

This is indeed gold. I wish society will adopt an attitude to fix things instead of getting a new one.

[@Anthonywlai]

Impressive 🥳 thanks bro 🤝🏻 it help a lot ❤️

[@Alexander-dt8sk]

What would be the average cost of replacing the main bearings in such a washer? I'm trying to figure out if it's worth even trying versus buy-in a new one.

[@jessjade7315]

Thank you so much
