Washing machine making noise and repair
If your washer making noise, there are several potential causes and steps you can take to address the issue:
- A washing machine making unusual or excessive noise can be a sign of various issues. The type of noise and its possible causes can vary, but here are some common noise-related problems and how to address them:
- Loud Banging or Thumping Noise:
- This noise is often caused by an unbalanced load. When the laundry inside the drum is unevenly distributed, the washer can become imbalanced, resulting in a loud banging or thumping noise during the spin cycle.
- Solution: Open the washer, rearrange the laundry to create a more balanced load, and restart the cycle.
- High-Pitched or Squealing Noise:
- A high-pitched or squealing noise can be due to worn or loose belts. Belts that are slipping or damaged can produce this type of noise.
- Solution: Check the belts for signs of wear or looseness and replace them if necessary.
- Rattling or Clanking Noise:
- Rattling or clanking noises may indicate loose objects, like coins, buttons, or foreign objects, trapped inside the washer’s drum or pump.
- Solution: Stop the cycle, unplug the washer, and carefully check the drum and pump for any foreign objects. Remove them if found.
- Buzzing or Grinding Noise:
- Buzzing or grinding noises can indicate problems with the motor, bearings, or other mechanical components. This type of noise should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage.
- 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 be due to 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.
- Loud Humming or Vibration:
- Vibrations and humming sounds can result from an uneven floor, loose parts, or a washer not properly balanced.
- 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.
