How we confirm it first
The technician checks drum play and noise and looks for signs of a failed seal.
What the repair involves
A major repair: the tub is disassembled to replace bearings and seal.
Why it fails
The rear seal wears and lets water reach the bearings, which then rust and roar. Overloading and constant high-speed spins add wear.
How to make it last
Don't overload the drum and use the right amount of HE detergent; excess suds can work past seals.
Repair or replace?
Often not worth it on older or budget washers; the finding prices it against replacement.
What it costs
Free diagnostic when you approve the repair and it's completed; otherwise $89 + tax for a home electric appliance. The written finding shows the part, labour and total before any work. Replaced parts carry a 90-day warranty.
