Troubleshooting common Inglis washer issues

Inglis washers are known for their no-frills durability, but even the most reliable washers need occasional repairs. If your washer starts vibrating, rattling, or sounding off during a cycle, here’s where to start.

Washer vibrates or bangs loudly during spin

Begin by checking the wash load. Overloading or an unbalanced load can cause excessive vibration and thumping. Distribute the clothes evenly and make sure the washer is on a level surface.

Inner basket is loose or noisy

If you’ve ruled out loading issues and the washer still rattles, the spin basket could be the problem. A loose spanner nut or a damaged basket can cause noise and balance problems. You may need to replace the spin basket in a top-load washer to restore proper operation.

Washer makes grinding sounds or won’t agitate

Worn components in the transmission or gear case may be the cause if your washer hums, grinds, or refuses to agitate. If that’s the case, it might be time to replace the gear case in a top-load washer.

Commonly replaced Inglis washer parts

• Shock absorbers – Maintain drum stability in top-load models. Worn shocks cause banging and vibration.
• Drive belt – Transfers power from the motor to the transmission or drum. A loose or broken belt stops spin cycles.
• Drain pump – Removes water between cycles. If it fails, water remains in the tub.
• Lid switch – Prevents spinning when the lid is open. A faulty switch may keep the cycle from advancing.
• Motor coupling – Connects the motor and transmission. When it breaks, the tub won’t spin or agitate.

Inglis washer FAQs

Are Inglis washers still made?

Inglis washers were originally manufactured in Canada and are now part of the Whirlpool family. While new models are limited, parts for most older models are still available.

How do I stop my washer from shaking during the spin cycle?

Make sure your washer is level and avoid overloading. If shaking continues, worn suspension rods or shocks may need replacing.

Why does my Inglis washer smell musty?

Odors often come from detergent buildup or trapped moisture. Run a washer cleaning cycle monthly and keep the lid open after use.

My Inglis washer won’t drain - what should I check?

Start by inspecting the drain hose for clogs or kinks. If that’s clear, the drain pump or lid switch may be malfunctioning.

With proper maintenance, many Inglis washers can last 12–15 years. Replacing worn parts helps extend that lifespan.
