Washing machines are built to help you out, so why should you have to listen to the sound of what seems like a whole mess of banging, clanging, and screeching when you use them? When you hear different noises from your washing machine while it’s washing clothes, it is worth the attention to! Indications of mechanical issues, unbalanced loads, or even something more serious inside the washing machine may be indicative of these weird sounds. Some noises are less serious than others, and a professional should be engaged. Some noises may not need professional intervention after all! Rather than ignoring the issue, keep your observation on hand of the pattern of the sound, or the strength of the sound it produces. 

Let us take a look at some of the commonplace and not-so-common random noises you could hear your washing machine make, and how to mitigate those noises! If you’re in places such as Velachery or thereabouts, a quick call to a Washing Machine Service In Madipakkam could save you considerable repair costs in the long run.

Why is your washer making noise?

Unbalanced Load

A washing machine can rattle during a wash cycle for several reasons, but what you will likely find causes the most rattle is an unbalanced load. When washing heavy items, like towels or blankets, you can sometimes shift the items to one side of the drum, causing the material to all pile up toward that one side. As this happens, the washing machine may show its displeasure by vibrating against the frame and banging against it.

Items in the Drum

Coins, buttons, and small things that you have left in pockets can slip into the drum or another part of the machine, causing rattling or grinding noises when the washing machine is running.

Worn Bearings

If you hear a loud rumble and then a thumping sound while your washing machine is spinning, you may have worn the drum bearing. This is serious, and you should take action; otherwise, serious damage may occur.

Things Loose or Worn Down

Various parts can wear down or become loose over time, such as the motor mount, shaker pads, shock absorbers, or drum paddles. When this occurs, you may also hear clanging sounds or squeaking sounds.

Damaged / Worn drive belt or pulley

If you experience a screeching sound, it is from either an untwisting or fraying drive belt, or the drum not turning properly due to a broken, twisted, or malfunctioning pulley system.

 Improperly Installed

 The problem may not be the machine; it may be how the machine is installed in the property. If the machines are not sitting on the ground, they will bounce around excessively and create excessive noise.
