"Customer says that the washer makes an extremely loud noise, intermittently, when 1 minute is remaining in the wash cycle. Cycle selections, options, modifiers, and load size has no direct influence on the noise. Customer showed technician two videos of the washer in use while the noise is going. The noise is loud but tech can not pinpoint what the noise is. Tech ran diagnostics and then consumer cycles. Leaned washer back to look for anything out of place. Rotor bolt is two threads away from falling completely out of the transmission and is likely the immediate source of noise. The rotor is covered in a gel-like oil that is seeping from the internals of the gear case. The lid lock is sticking and won't release after the cycle has ended. Power cycling the washer remedies that issue. Final concern is that water is dripping from the fill area, into the tub. Drip is constant for the entirety of technicians visit. Tech we explained findings to the customer and provided a quote for repair. Customer declined to move forward with a gear case replacement and lid lock replacement. Job is complete."

Issue is unrepairable as a lokring fitting has failed inside the cabinet. Eric, at technical support, confirmed technicians findings and submitted the fridge for an exchange review.

My husband handled the technicians visit and he’s very opinionated when it comes to getting something serviced at our home. He was very impressed with the knowledge of our tech, Derek, and pleased with his work on our upright freezer. He showed up when he said he would and clearly explained the issue. He also provided additional information about having an outdoor appliance that we never knew. Scheduling and communication was easy and the price of the visit/fix was reasonable. Highly recommend.
