LG Washing Machine Making Noise When Spinning: Troubleshooting Guide
A loud, vibrating, or grinding noise during the spin cycle of your LG washing machine can be concerning. This guide helps you identify whether the issue is a simple balance problem or a mechanical fault requiring professional attention.
Common Causes for Spinning Noise
- Uneven leveling of the machine causing it to wobble against the floor.
- Foreign objects like coins, hairpins, or buttons trapped in the drain pump filter.
- Worn-out drum bearings that create a loud grinding or roaring sound during high-speed rotation.
- Loose or damaged shock absorbers that fail to dampen the movement of the outer tub.
Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician
- Check if the machine is level by using a spirit level; adjust the feet until the unit is perfectly stable.
- Inspect the drum for any visible foreign objects and remove them carefully.
- Locate the drain pump filter at the bottom front of the machine, open the cover, and clear out any debris or lint.
- Ensure the laundry load is balanced and not overloaded, as heavy, uneven loads can cause excessive vibration.
Always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and turn off the water supply taps before inspecting the pump filter or moving the machine to avoid electrical shock or water leakage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my LG washing machine make a loud thumping sound?
A thumping sound is often caused by an unbalanced load. Try redistributing the clothes evenly inside the drum and restart the spin cycle.
Can I replace the drum bearings myself?
Replacing drum bearings is a complex task that requires disassembling the entire outer tub. We strongly recommend hiring a certified technician for this repair.
How often should I clean the drain pump filter?
It is recommended to clean your drain pump filter every 3 to 6 months to prevent debris buildup and ensure smooth drainage.
Is it safe to use the machine if it makes a grinding noise?
No, a grinding noise usually indicates mechanical wear. Continuing to use the machine may cause further damage to the motor or tub assembly.
