I have a GE front load washer model # whdvh626fww. it keeps making alot of noise when in the spin cycle and the belt keeps coming off. at first I thougt it was out of balance but that was not it . when I opened the back panel to put the belt back on I noticed alot of black stuff around were the drive pulley attaches.

check your owners manual for warranty on inner tub and seal warranty parts may be covered in some cases but labor may not be....

MINE DOES THE SAME. HOUSING IS CRACKED THAT ATTATCHES TO DRUM. WHITE METAL CANNOT BE REPAIRED.

If your machine is making louder than normal noise during spin it could be the failure of the basket. Mine is just under three years old and the basket became looser than normal in the tub. I diassembled the machine...a lot of work...and found the aluminum casting around the shaft and bolted to the basket had rotted away. It looks like it was attacked by the bleach since I had my water checked and its pH is fine. It is likely the root of the smell we have experienced with our clothes when they sit too long in the machine. I spoke with GE and they gladly agreed to replace the parts needed but it is a ton of work to install them. I plan to treat the new part with some zinc chromate if I can get some before the parts arrive. See the picture if it attached correctly.

Most likely your drive belt has slipped off. Open up the back of teh washer and see if the drive belt has slipped off and ease it back on with a screwdriver.

Check the cold water hose. My brand new machine had this behavior until I discovered a kink in the cold water hose - works great now.

The bearings have most likely gone bad. This is a very common problem with the front load washer when powder soap is used.

why is my ge front load washer making a rumbling noise

turn the tub on the inside if it feels ruff as it turns and makes a noise then most likely you have a bad rear bearing, if it is smooth in turning and no noise then turn to drain or spin possibly something stuck in drain pump. the drain pump will start up first if you hear the noise then the drain pump is accessed from the front lower cover, if its the rear bearing probably not worth fixing about 400.00 in parts and alot of work.

GE WPXH214ACC Washer drum makes loud noise when spinning sometimes. We've had it since 2005 & never had this happen before. Washer is level, must stop & redistribute clothes to correct. Just started happening now.

Maybe the spring device that keeps the belt tight is not working properly. You need to make sure what ever it is that keeps that belt tight is working properly or not damaged. The belt is very important for the spin to work good. Match it up with your old belt. The old belt will be slightly longer because of being stretched over a period of time. Get your unit number and model number (or take the belt) and go to your nearest dealer and get the correct belt.
