The upper spin bearing for a washer can solve many issues such as loud and odd noises, or leaking water. Replacing the spin bearing could solve these issues. The tools needed for this replacement are screwdrivers, a socket set, and a putty knife. To repair, first lift the top of the washer and remove the screws at the bottom of the front panel to pull away. Next, pull off the dispenser cover, cup, and agitator. Detach switch tube from the tub cover and remove tub cover, then use the 1/2 inch socket to remove the trunnion bolts and pull out inner tub. For the rest of the installation instructions, refer to the diagram provided by the manufacturer. Remember to unplug the appliance from the power source as a safety precaution.

Noisy spin cycle
1) Unplugged washer and disconnected the hot and cold hoses. 2) removed the 2 phillips screws at the bottom of the front panel then removed front panel, you need enough clearance by the floor, this is tricky because you have to lean washer back and push down on the front panel. 3) removed the agitator from the washer 4) lif
... Read moreted top of washer and leaned back against the wall and removed the splash tub cover one clip at a time with a flat screw driver. 5) removed the trunion, this is difficult and will take some time due to the corrosion from many years of use use a hammer (3Lb short handle) and tap one side then the other. You will need to rock it back and forth awhile. 6) lift the basket out of splash tub 7) I removed the hose for water level and removed the 3 bolts that hold the splash tub to the three base mounts (support arms). 8) remove the splash tub 9)change the plastic washer that is between the splash tub and the transmission in the bottom of the splash tub 10) change the bearing(metal sleeve) on the bottom of splash tub and lightly grease w/ a thin film of teflon grease 11) install splash tub and install the 3 bolts along w/ the water level tube 12) install the larger seal (w/ spring in it) and push into the splash tub firmly 13) use some tub and faucet silicone grease on the smaller seal because you don't want to damage this main seal, install the main seal (sits on top of the larger one that's in the tub already) be careful when getting to flat part of the shaft when installing ( spin around the shaft as you pass this point) it will keep the seal from coming out. 14) install trunion (sits down on top of the seal) you will feel the tension of the spring when bolting the trunion back into place. 15) install basket and bolt it to the trunion (I installed a new filter on the bottom of the basket and required some special glue, ask for "3M" GMGA600 adhesive. 16) installed splash tub cover, agitator and front cover. Washer works great and is quieter than it was new.

My washer is leaking when a put the water setting on super load. But if i put the water level on medium it doesn't leak. What could be the problem?
For model number glws1649as1
Hi Scott,
Thank you for your question. I would suggest checking your seals. It seems like you may have something worn down in your appliance and that is why it is leaking with more water inside of the machine. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
