Frigidaire Frigidaire FLCE7522AW Electric Stacked Laundry Center with 4.5 cu ft Washer and 5.5 cu ft Dryer MECH-BEARING Error Fix: Drum Bearing Worn — Noise During Spin

Error code MECH-BEARING on the Frigidaire Frigidaire FLCE7522AW Electric Stacked Laundry Center with 4.5 cu ft Washer and 5.5 cu ft Dryer means: Drum Bearing Worn — Noise During Spin. The main drum bearings have worn out, producing a loud rumbling, grinding, or squealing noise during the spin cycle. Drum bearings wear over time due to water and detergent seepage past the tub seal. Spin the inner drum by hand with the washer empty — worn bearings will cause rough, grinding rotation. Replacing drum bearings requires disassembling the outer tub. The rear tub bearing and seal kit must be replaced together.
