Going to check out a 5 or 6 year old Duet my neighbor is selling, what possible problems should I check on? If I put it in the spin cycle it should run smoothly, correct? How do I spot a bad bearing? What things should I check? | ||

mildew on the boot
rust or corrosion on the door and door hinge residue and goo on the dispenser drawer strange mildewie smell inside If you are able to,run the unit through a rinse and spin. Listen for any kind of noises that don't sound normal.If the unit sounds louder than usual during the final spin,the tub bearings are probably in need of replacement.Also check for any leaks. remove the lower front panel and check the pump by removing the cover and look for any foreign objects like coins.pins,buttons and nails.Good luck!! I,myself,just got a Duet Sport for $50 from a local farmhand who said it didn't drain and the repairman said it was the transmission???. There was a large paper clip stuck in the pump keeping it from rotating. | ||
