General Electric GTW460BMM top loading washer squeaks rhythmically during rinse cycle, but not during spin cycle. Video w/audio included.
Video Link The washer, a General Electric GTW460BMM, is about 7 years old. It's been making this noise during the rinse cycle occasionally for about the last 6 months. It's not overloaded. I doubt it's the belt, as I expect the belt would squeak during acceleration to high speed in the spin cycle, and it doesn't. Entering and leaving spin cycle, it's perfect. It sounds as though something's rubbing, but I can't tell from sound alone if it's metal or plastic. Could be a foreign object, I suppose. But wouldn't a foreign object make a noise during all cycles? Whatever it is, I can probably repair it. Former aircraft mech. submitted by /u/hipster_deckard [link] [comments]
