    Kenmore Elite making Loud noise at END of spin cycle
    I have Kenmore Elite model #22996. Last week it started making a very loud thumping noise at the end of the spin cycle. It also does it if you open the lid during the spin cycle so it must being related to it need to stop. It is balanced, it does not matter on load size, and the springs are all intact and working wonderfully so it is not a balancing issue. Is the gear case? Clutch? My DH thinks lubing the brakes might help but does not know how.
    Any ideas before we go out and get a new washer?

Kenmore washer making loud noise [ 15 Answers ]

Hi! I have a kenmore washer that is @ 20 months old. After the wash cycle, it sometimes makes a loud banging noise (I guess it is switching gears?) before the rinse cycle begins. This doesn't happen all the time. Could it be that the washer is not level or maybe the load is off balance. Any...
