Evn while filling it makes a noise like metal scraping
For model number GLWN5550D0WW
Fix.com logo
Hello Thomas, thank you for contacting us. If the noise is just during the filling, we would recommend checking the water pressure and the water inlet valve, part number FIX3652834. If it makes noise while running, the most probable cause of the issue is a damaged tub bearing, part number FIX271510. Over time, the bearings that support the tub can wear out and cause a scraping or grinding noise. If the bearings are worn, they will likely need to be replaced. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!

For model number GLWN5550D0WW
Fix.com logo
Hello Thomas, thank you for contacting us. The issue is most probably related to the tub bearing, part number FIX271510. Over time, the bearings that support the drum can wear out and cause a metallic noise. If the bearings are worn, they will likely need to be replaced. Also, check the Tub Dampening Strap, part number FIX271100. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!

washing machine would not go through all cycles or agitate
After removing frt panel which prys off I checked for anything obvious like a loose belt. Then I jiggled the magnet switch located on the inside of the loading cover. I saw the machine start agitating the it stopped again when I stopped touching it. I ordered the new part and spliced it in with the wire crip tool. Now the machine is A ok.

Tools:
Nutdriver
broken drive belt
To diagnose, first I unhooked the washer: power, water supply, and drain pipe. I then slid the washer out, laying it on its front. With nutdriver, I unscrewed two screws that held the other end of the drain tube and removed it completely. Then, again with the nutdriver removed 4 screws from the back near the legs, two in between the leg s in the middle, and approx. 4 to 6 on the bottom. This let me pull the bottom off partially to access the motor area. (I did did not take the bottom completely off, only about 2/3 off and let it bend over, as it was flexible tin) The belt was broken. After receiving the new belt, I positioned it between the pulley and the motor and between the drum and the big pulley. Then I rotated the big pulley, pulling the belt onto it as I rotated. At the same time, as I rotated, I pulled the other end of the belt on to the little pulley. Once it was on, I would put pressure on it as I turned the pulley, to jump the belt to the appropriate grooves on the little pulley. Note: the replacement belt had been modified, so it had one less groove than the pulley. I would have known this if I had read the insert that came with the belt first! Anyway, this was not a problem, only a design change. Also it was important to start the belt on the inside, so if it slipped, you didnt loose your bite. Total diagnostic, repair, and reassembly time: 30 minutes plus or minus. I had read other online forums that said you had to loosen the motor, etc. And I do know some type of a belt installation tool was offered on line, but I got along fine with my installation method. An extra set of hands would have been helpful, but not necessary.

Broken belt.
Used 1" puddy knife to depress spring loaded retainer tabs. Front panel is removed by prying the top of the front panel away from the machine. Lift front panel to release bottom from machine. Set panel aside. New belt is installed by placing it on the drive pulley and then rolling belt onto the motor pulley. Rotate the motor by hand while moving belt so it is properly seated on pulley.
