if the machine is a "direct drive"(BLDC motor) it is normal to hear a whine or whirr when the basket is given a brisk spin. |

This type of motor was developed by Fisher & Paykel for their SmartDrive toploader in the early 1990s. Other brands have gone to using the design, which has has evolved over the years. Earlier versions were distinctly whiny or even grindy-sounding. Operational sound may vary according to how the computer controls it for speed and torque. Sounds are considerably difficult to diagnose without hearing them. |

kind of. It's done it periodically for YEARS. I can hear it squeak....but it's a very slight squeak...sounds like baby birds chirping. Then it will just completely stop for months....and when it does happen, it never lasts more than a few loads, before it quiets down again for months....I'm trying to remember the last time I heard it. I think it was back in the spring.. when it does start doing it, once a load is finished, I can spin the empty drum and hear it....I'm trying to remember if it's both directions or just one. Seems like just one direction...I'd venture to say it's done this for ten years...

you can just upload a video to youtube then post the link in your comment here... I use only powder called Windfresh. I love Tide too but I try not to buy anything made from P&G...If my duet has done this on and off for 10 years, mostly off...and it's almost 17 years old at this point I wouldn't worry....but then again, we're talking about totally different brands here so it could possibly be a different issue. I'm thinking it's no big deal (knock on wood)

I just try to avoid it when I can. They just use so many nasty chemicals in their products. It's so hard to avoid them entirely. Other companies are guilty too
I'll cut paste from one of the many articles I've read over the years. Procter & Gamble (P&G) – the company that makes everything from Luvs diapers to Tide, Bounty paper towels, and Nyquil, and also the biggest personal care product distributor in the U.S. – is attempting to ride the wave of breast cancer awareness as a way to tout its ‘interest in women’s health.’ But what everyone should know is that this company doesn’t care about your health; in fact, the company’s products are loaded with carcinogenic ingredients known to cause cancer. From baby care, to feminine care, personal care products and home care – P&G is infecting your household with carcinogenic ingredients, and though they have been asked repeatedly by consumer activist groups to remove these toxins from its products, the company won’t listen. While it’s true that P&G has removed some of the toxic ingredients in its products, there is a long way to go. Janet Nudelman, program director at the Breast Cancer Fund and co-founder of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics once congratulated the company for taking at least a baby step in the right direction: “The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics congratulates P&G for taking bold and globally-significant action to protect the health of its 4.8 billion consumers by eliminating two dangerous toxic chemicals—triclosan and DEP—from all its products.” It’s a step in the right direction to remove a couple toxic ingredients, but I’m not sure a huge congratulations is in order. Still, major P&G brands such as Tide, Pantene, Herbal Essence, and CoverGirl are packed with carcinogens and sold to customers without so much as a warning on the label. Read: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month – Is Aluminum Causing Breast Cancer? Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), recognized as a carcinogen by the state of California and the Environmental Working Group, is just one chemical lurking in P&G’s products. The U.S. National Institutes of Health reports that BHA is “reasonably anticipated” to be a human carcinogen. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has found more than 65 carcinogenic chemicals in P&G’s lotions, shampoos, hair dyes, and cosmetics – many of them completely banned in other countries. P&G’s $100,000 donation to ‘fight breast cancer’ is nothing more than a marketing gimmick to keep you thinking that the company actually cares about your health. This is a multi-billion dollar company. That would be like you or I giving a penny to defeat a major disease. |
