The second question is answered with "no", at least not perfectly centered; the top edge seems to move towards the back of the washer sometimes as the basin is slowing down. | |

Is it possible that fixing the source of the thumping noise will extend the life of the transmission? If the source of that noise is not the transmission itself, what are possible sources? | |
| Oct 29, 2013 at 21:14 | comment | added | longneck | Probably not. Usually the transmissions are not serviceable. | |
| Oct 29, 2013 at 21:12 | comment | added | abiessu | So there is no point in attempting to put more oil into the transmission to help it last longer or to investigate the source of the thumping sound and fix that problem? | |
