Inglis Washer is making loud noise
When your Inglis washer is making loud noise, start by checking the shipping bolts and foam block at the rear of the machine. These parts must be removed after installation or the tub can move and create a noisy washing machine. If the washer loud when spinning or the washing machine is making noise when spinning, the most likely cause is a worn tub bearing. A defective tub seal and bearing kit can also cause noise along with water leaking from the bottom of the tub near the transmission. The rear drum with bearing, or a separate bearing, may be damaged as well. These bearing repairs require extensive disassembly, and replacing the outer tub and bearing assembly may be the best option when available. Finally, an improperly balanced load can make the washer shake and produce a banging noise, especially when lightweight and heavy items are washed together. Check the load before ordering parts, then enter your Inglis washer model number to find the exact replacement tub bearing, tub seal and bearing kit, rear drum with bearing, or other part that fits your specific washing machine.
01 - Shipping bolts have not been removed
Shipping bolts and a foam block are often used when transporting new washing machines to prevent the tub from moving and becoming damaged. Confirm the bolts (located at the rear of the washer) and the foam block have been removed before operating the appliance.

02 - Inglis Washing Machine Bearing
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing.

03 - Inglis Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the washer is noisy during the spin cycle or is leaking from the bottom of the tub near the transmission, the tub seal and bearing are likely defective. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing the outer tub and bearing at the same time.

The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly.

05 - Inglis Washing Machine Rear Drum with Bearing
The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult.
Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.

06 - Improperly balanced load
If there are light and heavy items in the same load, or too few items, the tub can spin out of balance. Wash items with aproximately the same weight together, and consider adding items if necessary, to better balance the load.
Highly Likely
07 - Washer not level
The washer should be level with the feet sitting firmly on a solid floor. Level the appliance and adjust the legs if necessary.
Highly Likely
