A real double trouble appears when your Kenmore combo washer/dryer starts making a loud noise. It means you can’t use either of them normally. We strongly recommend omitting any DIY as it may only exacerbate the breakdown. If the washer makes banging noises during the spin cycle, open the lid and check the laundry to ensure it hasn't all accumulated on one side of the drum, as an off-balance load may cause a slight banging sound. If the washer bangs with a balanced load or even an empty load during the spin cycle, tub-dampening straps designed to cut down on the noise may have snapped or stretched. Unplug the washer and remove the screws holding the control panel in place. Remove any other screws holding the top of the washer in place, then lift the top off. The four straps holding the tub to the cabinet should all look the same and not appear to be stretched out. If any are, they need to be replaced. In some cases there are springs present; check that they are all attached properly at each end and are not stretched out. If the washer is a belt-driven model and makes a squeaking or squealing noise during the agitation, spin or drain cycles, the belt or pulleys may be to blame. Unplug the washer and remove the screws holding the front bottom panel in place, then swing the panel open from the bottom to free it. Shine a flashlight inside to see if the pulleys and belt are free of dirt and debris; vacuum the area, if necessary. If the belt appears stretched, cracked or damaged, it needs to be replaced. Pop the belt off the pulley and take the old one to a hardware or appliance store to find a suitable replacement. Replace the belt by putting it on in the same manner it was removed. Of course, you may simply invite a technician to diagnose the appliance for you.
