What Are Washing Machine Bearings?
Bearings are small but critical components that allow the drum to spin smoothly. They are located at the back of the drum and help support its rotation.
When bearings wear out:
- The machine becomes very noisy
- The drum feels loose
- Water may leak from the rear
- The machine vibrates excessively
Ignoring faulty bearings can damage the drum shaft and motor, increasing repair costs.
Signs You Need Bearing Replacement
Here are clear symptoms:
1. Loud Grinding or Rumbling Noise
If your washer sounds like an airplane taking off during spin, the bearings are worn.
2. Excessive Vibration
Unusual shaking even on level ground often indicates internal bearing damage.
3. Drum Play
If you move the drum by hand and it feels loose, bearings are likely failing.
4. Water Leakage from the Back
Damaged bearings often come with a failed seal, allowing water to escape.
Factors Affecting Washing Machine Bearings Replacement Cost
Several things determine the final cost:
1. Machine Type
Front-load washers are more complex and cost more to repair than top-load models.
2. Brand & Model
Premium brands may require specialized bearings.
3. Severity of Damage
If the drum shaft is damaged, additional parts may increase the cost.
4. Labor Intensity
Bearing replacement requires full drum removal, making it a labor-intensive repair.

Yes — especially if:
