How to Fix Washing Machine Sound When Spinning

Common Causes for Spinning Noise

1. Uneven leveling: If the machine is not perfectly balanced on the floor, it will shake and bang during high-speed spins.
2. Foreign objects: Coins, buttons, or hairpins trapped in the drum or pump filter often cause a metallic rattling sound.
3. Worn-out drum bearings: A loud rumbling or growling noise, especially as the spin speed increases, usually indicates failing bearings.
4. Damaged drive belt: If the belt is frayed or loose, you might hear a squealing or thumping sound while the drum rotates.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Check the leveling: Use a spirit level to ensure all four feet are firmly touching the ground and adjust them if necessary.
2. Inspect the drum: Reach inside the drum to check for any loose items caught between the drum and the outer tub.
3. Clean the pump filter: Locate the drain pump filter (usually at the bottom front), open it carefully, and remove any trapped debris or lint.
4. Check the load: Ensure you are not overloading the machine, as an unbalanced load can cause excessive noise and vibration.
