LG Washing Machine Drum Making Noise: Troubleshooting Guide

Common Causes for Drum Noise

1. Unbalanced Load: Heavy items like blankets or rugs can cause the drum to wobble and bang against the cabinet during the spin cycle.
2. Foreign Objects: Coins, buttons, or hairpins trapped between the inner and outer drum often cause a metallic clicking or scraping sound.
3. Worn Drum Bearings: A loud rumbling or grinding noise that gets progressively worse during high-speed spinning usually indicates failing drum bearings.
4. Debris in Drain Pump: Small items trapped in the pump filter can cause rattling sounds during the water drainage phase.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Check and redistribute the laundry load to ensure it is balanced, then run a spin-only cycle to see if the noise persists.
2. Inspect the rubber door gasket for trapped items like coins or small garments that may be rubbing against the drum.
3. Locate the drain pump filter at the bottom front of the machine, drain the excess water, and remove any debris found inside.
4. Ensure all four leveling feet are firmly touching the floor and the machine is not rocking on an uneven surface.
