Four Frigidaire washer symptoms on the FFTW and EFLS series. The noise type names the part: grinding or rumbling means worn drum bearings, banging means failed shocks or a broken suspension spring. A washer that will not spin is worked through the motor control board, belt slippage and those same bearings. Excessive vibration and a machine that will not start at all complete the set, and the two noise-related guides overlap enough to be read together.
Bearings and suspension are the axis of this hub. A drum that rumbles under load and a machine that walks during spin are frequently the same failure at two stages, which is why the vibration guide checks levelling and load balance before anything mechanical is suspected, and why the noise guide asks when the sound occurs rather than how loud it is. Getting that order right avoids replacing shocks on a machine that simply is not level.
Levelling the feet, balancing loads and checking that all four feet are firm on the floor are homeowner work and resolve a real share of vibration complaints. Bearings, suspension springs and the motor control board are not: a bearing job means splitting the tub, and the board switches mains voltage. Unplug and close the taps before opening the cabinet, then book the repair for anything past the feet.
