Whirlpool washer making terrible knocking noise in spin cyle

by Esposito

Whirlpool Heavy Duty Super Capacity LSR7233EQ0. There is a terrible knocking noise during spin cycle (the same one that happens sometimes when the clothes are all bunched to one side and their weight needs to be more evenly distributed). Also I see that the tub is not sitting/resting properly in the machine. Even when empty it is tilted toward the right and to the front.

Hi,

Take the case off of the machine



Once the case is off you can check to see if there is a spring broken. There will be one spring at the back that is the one that will typically break. Actually it doesn’t break, the hole that it connects in rusts out. The spring holds the machine part up straight and if it is broken it will lean forward. If this is your problem you will have to drill another hole for the spring. If not check for any broken springs.

Thank you,
