I have searched all over, and am still a bit stumped. I have a 2 year old GE Profile Front load washer (red...not that it matters much) and during the spin cycle, it makes a horrible train sound. Here is what I have done to troubleshoot and here are the results (in no particular order): FYI- machine is on level tile over concrete on main level of home. No drawer underneath. I have always used quality HE detergent, we have a whole home water treatment system (conditioner and 4 media filtration) 1) Inspected feet, shock absorbers ,and any internal bracing I could see by either removing front panel or rear access panel. all looked good 2) checked nut/bolt that bolts belt pulley to rear of drum shroud, checked motor and belt visually and found nothing out of sorts 3) checked for level-used level on all sides of unit, then ran a light load and adjusted the legs as it was spinning in all sorts of configurations. Noise changed slightly, but not much at all. 4) Ran a drain and spin load with no clothing in washer, ZERO vibration or ugly noise. 5) have stopped and rebalanced loads multiple times to see if it helps, all it does is give me wet hands. 6) moved drum by hand and have found no odd amounts of play. The puzzling part for me is that, if it were the tub bearing, I would assume that I would get the sound no matter what. A bad bearing is a bad bearing and en empty tub is still spinning on it. Let me know if I have missed any tests. These front loaders are a bit more tempermental than the toploaders I have owned in the past. Suggestions? (other than buy another brand-that is a foregone conclusion-GE Profile is junk...came with house) Thanks, Jman

I have a Maytag washer, just a few years old, model M10140920D, as soon as I start it, it agitates like it's in the middle of a cycle. I'm used to it starting by spraying some water, agitating, spraying, etc, but it's now agitating constantly. When it's done, the clothes are sopping wet, no water standing in the tub, but clothes are wet as if it hasn't spun out. Also, judging by the smell of the clothes, they're not clean either! Anybody know what the problem could be?
