Why is my washing machine making a lot of noise?
It is irritating when doing your laundry to hear a strange rattling, knocking, bumping or scratching sound.
Did you know that many washing machines, after working for some time in an abnormal way, with abnormal noises, can cause irreparable damage? An insignificant noise, over time, might become very serious and in many cases not be repairable, so it is important to be sure that your washing machine does not make abnormal noises.
A washing machine making a loud noise when spinning, meaning a part has become worn out or loose.
The most frequent causes and the easiest solutions for your washing machine:
When you turn on the water, do you hear a pounding?
Check the drain pump, there may be some object between the propellers of the drain pump.
When your drum is moving, do you hear a metal scrape?
Check carefully the holes of the drum, it is very common to have a bracelet or ring or something else caught, and when turning the drum produces this noise.
When it starts spinning, does it move too much?
Check that the washing machine is correctly leveled.
When the centrifuge makes too much noise?
This problem can usually occur because the bearings and seals need replacement or the crosshead of the drum is damaged. In both cases, the solution must be solved by a qualified technician since it is somewhat complicated to replace these elements.
