Why is it now squealing when in spin mode - Dryers

It sounds like the drum is frozen. The squealing is from the motor slipping on the belt. There may also be something keeping the belt from tightning. Try these links:

Make sure its simply not the A/C tensioner thats gone bad. You might just have to replace that one. There's absolutely no reason a belt should be the culprit unless it is tearing or ripped so you can look for wear and tear on the belts. Most likely a pulley is out of alignment or the pulley bearing is just starting to squeal when it gets wet. But it can still squeal if its dry outside.

Take the belt off and spin it with your hand, if it squeaks, its bad. I had to replace one years ago, they just go bad. Make sure the A/C compressor isn't whats squealing too, and the other top pulleys too. Sometimes you can be fooled on where the squeal is really coming from. Spin everything that can be spun, by hand.

most likely a faulty pump try tht first

That is usually normal. That is the sound of the brake applying against the tub to stop it. Smaller loads will be longer because the tub is moving faster and it takes longer to slow down.

Hi just read your posting,Now is the machine noisy when the spin 1st starts,this is when the pump starts pumping the water out,or when the bowl is turning.This machine has no drum brake.The polarity on the motor is reversed to stop the bowl from spinning.Please reply with additional information and I am sure I can help you.Looking forward to your reply.

Many washers squeal when spin starts. A new belt usually solves it. A bit of belt dressing for car fan belts works wonders. **unplug it while you apply belt dressing!
There is usually a tension adjustment by moving the motor mount back a small amount. Don't over do the tension.

Probably the belt.
Ck out this site for the belt and how to replace inspect it.
See item#3.

sorry for the late reply.

possible causes are:

bra wire stuck in tub and rubs against the drum and squeals when on spin.

lip seal at front of bearings squealing - this is a difficult repair

Squealing normal occurs due to belt slippage. I would check your belts (look for cracks. Check the belt tension as well, most washers have an adjustment, normally on the motor that allows you to increase the tension of the belt.

If part of a belt gets torn and it is long enough, it will hit any part of the washing machine within range and make a clicking noise at every revolution of the motor.

I am pretty sure you need new belts. You should be able to remove a few screws and open the back cover. Between the pulleys there is a tensioner...loosen that so you can remove the belt easily. replace it with a new belt and adjust the tension.

hope this helps

The spin cycle activates the fast mode on the motor, squealing normal occurs due to belt slippage. I would check your belts (look for cracks. Check the belt tension as well, most washers have an adjustment, normally on the motor that allows you to increase the tension of the belt.
