The washer is supposed to be low noise, yet when it goes to spin cycle it sounds like a loud roar (not a knock) from a tire on a truck or car on the interstate. Repair man says new belt, new pump, and idler. Does all this have to be replaced? The only problem is the noise when it is on a spin cycle. Otherwise everything else is fine. Clothes are clean, no water leak and water is pumped out.

Not only do you have a loud roar but it's leaking small amounts of water thru the top seal and into the spin brg . top brg and seal will have to be replaced .. the pump may be ok they donot make noise and the belt is normal mantaince . the idler just oil it . . the parts that you stated are in the lower part of the maching and the brg is just under the outer tub . .. and just for your info the pump runs both in spin and agit . so why does it not make noise in the wash ? so back to basic the top brg is only going in the spin and they get noisey whe water get s in them .. we do a lot of these and trust me the top brg is your problem . mm hope this helps ... feed back pls and thanks for ysing fix ya .
