HE3 is one of the most common front-load washers we still service, and it carries a well-known reputation in the repair trade for drum bearing wear — the spider arm behind the drum supports significant weight through thousands of spin cycles, and by this platform’s second decade in service, a grinding or knocking noise during spin is one of the most frequent calls we get on it.
