Kenmore elite quiet pan 4 he4t plastic piece replacement

So the other day my sister was washing clothes and she found plastic shrapnel in the clothes that she washed. She called my dad over to look at the washer. He found that there is a plastic piece in front of the drum that is "eroding" or "breaking down". Now he wants to replace the plastic piece ourselves that way we don't have to pay for a tech to do it for us. Where can we find this plastic piece? SPECIFICALLY how do we replace this piece? In addition whenever we wash a regular load of clothes, we hear a racket of noise during the spin cycle. What is the racket that's making the drum make that noise. I realized that when I spin the drum myself I can hear a metallic squeak then a clunk. Do you know what this problem is? Can it be a bad bearing or something else?

There can be a loose bearing between the drum and the outer wall of the machine but, there is definitely something loose. I know that this is not what you would like to hear but, the best advice anyone can give you is have your machine looked at by a specialist. Moreover, going to your washing machine retail store, should have the equipment you are looking for, or you can search for it online and compare prices.

Wher is the lint catcher on a kenmore elite quitepac 9 washer

numerical model numbers are better than model 'friendly names' like 'quitepac 9' which also appears to be incorrectly spelled ''Quiet Pak 9' apparently.

Google thinks it is this one and there is no filter.

Kenmore Elite HE4T standing water

I also have standing water after a wash cycle, but not immediately after. Given the history of very expensive repairs to this Kenmore HE4T washing machine, I suggest you do what I do, if the machine is still cleaning the clothes. Whatever cycle you use, try to be around when the machine finishes, so that you can turn off the water supply and remove the damp clothes to the dryer or clothes line. Turn on the water supply only when you want to use the machine. This works for me because I don't do many loads per week and my laundry area is right next to my kitchen. If it was in my basement, I'd have replaced it already with a top loading machine with mechanical not electronic controls.

Kenmore elite smartwash quiet pak 9 he4t the washer starts filing water when the washer is turned off.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,
This is symptomatic of a malfunctioning water control valve- not closing fully- the hot water one, if the washer is hot and cold fill, and the cold one if it is just cold fill!
Sorry but it needs replacing and a service call ;-0(
Good luck,
John C
