Washer Speed Queen making noise
If your Speed Queen washer is making noise, there are several potential causes and steps you can take to address the issue:
- If your Speed Queen washer is making unusual or excessive noise, it can be a sign of various issues. Here are some common noise-related problems and steps to address them:
- Loud Banging or Thumping Noise:
- Unbalanced load: When the laundry inside the drum is unevenly distributed, the washer can become imbalanced, leading to loud banging or thumping noise during the spin cycle.
- Solution: Open the washer, rearrange the laundry for a more balanced load, and restart the cycle.
- High-Pitched or Squealing Noise:
- Worn or loose belts: Belts that are slipping or damaged can produce high-pitched or squealing noise.
- Solution: Check the belts for signs of wear or looseness and replace them if necessary.
- Rattling or Clanking Noise:
- Loose objects: Coins, buttons, or foreign objects trapped inside the washer’s drum or pump can cause rattling or clanking noises.
- Solution: Stop the cycle, unplug the washer, and carefully inspect the drum and pump for foreign objects. Remove them if found.
- Buzzing or Grinding Noise:
- Problems with motor or bearings: Buzzing or grinding noises can indicate issues with the motor, bearings, or other mechanical components.
- Solution: If you hear buzzing or grinding noises, it’s best to contact a professional appliance repair technician to diagnose and repair the issue.
- Squeaking or Creaking Noise:
- Squeaking or creaking sounds can result from friction between moving parts, such as the drum or agitator, and their housing.
- Solution: Apply a small amount of lubricant or grease to the moving parts to reduce friction and eliminate the noise.
- Gurgling or Sloshing Noise:
- Gurgling or sloshing noises are generally normal and can be heard as water is being pumped into or out of the machine or as the drum moves during the cycle.
- Vibrations and Humming:
- Vibrations and humming sounds can result from an uneven floor, loose parts, or an improperly balanced washer.
- Solution: Ensure the washer is level, check for loose parts, and consider using anti-vibration pads or securing the washer to minimize movement and noise.

We have our dryer fixed in no time thanks to Arthur! Very prompt and professional! I'm usually dreading to have appliance repair because most of our past experiences with yelp repair companies are they're too lazy to repair and straight up suggest we replace the entire appliance itself! But Arthur took time to explain the issue and he fixed it completely. Thanks to this company and Arthur we have our Samsung Dryer up and running smoothly quickly! Thank you for your expertise and professional work Arthur! Highly recommend this company for your appliance needs!
Great service. Responsive, on time and friendly. Arthur fixed my ice/water maker in a jiffy. Highly recommended.
