I have a Danby front loading washer - DWM-5500W - I bought it used several months ago. It worked great for a month or so and then it started to blow fuses. I found that if I set the heater to 80 degrees then there was no problem. Then shortly after that I started noticing more noise during the final spins, so I turned the rpm setting down a bit then a bit more. At first that seemed to help a lot and then not so much. I kept lowering the rpms and am now down to the lowest setting and it's still making a big racket. My husband looked at it yesterday and cannot see anything obviously wrong with the support absorbers/struts or the top spring even while spinning. There is no rust or gunk coming out of the bearings, either. There doesn't appear to be any cracks in the spider arms or any excessive play in the inner or outer baskets. There's no leaking anywhere. I have called a repair person and he said it was probably the bearing but he wasn't sure and that if it was it'd probably take 3 hours to fix it so it probably would cost as much as the machine originally cost, especially by the time we replace the heater element, too. So can anyone out there help with a service manual and/or advice. I love this washer and the heater is definitely part of our love thing. I called Danby and the parts and heater are a reasonable price, but they may take a couple of weeks to get here. My husband is willing to spend the time to repair it but some guidance is in order.
