Replacing Broken Counterweights: The large stone structure on the front is a balance weight. If it has cracked or shattered due to intense spin cycle vibrations, it must be unbolted and replaced with a new matching model part to prevent the machine from shaking aggressively.Fixing Tub Bearing and Seals: If the machine was making a loud roaring or grinding noise during a spin cycle, it means the internal bearings have failed. To fix this, you must separate the front and rear halves of the outer tub to access and press out the old bearings and water seal.Addressing Outer Tub Damage: If the outer plastic housing is cracked or has a hole causing severe leaks, patching is highly temporary and typically fails due to immense centrifugal forces. The correct fix is replacing the entire outer tub assembly
