5 Critical Warning Signs Your Washer Is Failing
- Loud Grinding or Bangs During Spin Cycle: Excessive noise during spin cycles often points to worn tub bearings, a cracked tub spider arm, or drive motor failure.
- Standing Water in the Drum After Cycles: Water remaining in the tub signals a failing drain pump motor, clogged drain filter, or broken drive belt.
- Excessive Violent Shaking or Bouncing: Uncontrolled movement during spin cycles can stem from worn shock absorbers, broken suspension springs, or unbalanced leveling feet.
- Slow or Incomplete Tub Filling: Slow fills usually indicate clogged water inlet screen valves or faulty solenoids starving the machine of water.
- Puddles under or Behind the Unit: Small leaks under the machine indicate worn tub seals, split internal drain hoses, or a cracking pump housing.
3 Preventive Steps to Avoid Laundry Room Flooding
- Upgrade to Braided Stainless Hoses: Replace old rubber supply hoses every 3–5 years with high-pressure braided stainless steel lines to prevent sudden bursts.
- Avoid Overloading the Tub: Keep laundry loads balanced to protect the tub bearings, shock absorbers, and motor coupling from premature wear.
- Clean the Drain Filter Regularly: Clear coins, lint, and debris from the pump filter screen every few months to prevent drain pump overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it worth replacing washing machine tub bearings?
Replacing tub bearings is highly cost-effective if the machine’s motor, control board, and drum remain in good condition, restoring quiet operation and extending unit life significantly.
Why is my washer leaking only during the spin cycle?
Leaks that occur only during spin cycles typically stem from a worn main tub seal, an over-foaming detergent issue, or a loose tub hose connection under high rotational pressure.
Do you offer warranties on washer repairs?
Yes, all completed repairs executed by Quicky Repairs include our comprehensive 90-day parts and labor warranty, alongside a $0 diagnostic fee when you approve the repair.
