How to Fix Washing Machine Noise While Spinning

Common Causes for Spinning Noise

1. Uneven leveling: If the machine is not perfectly flat on the floor, it will vibrate violently during high-speed spins.
2. Foreign objects: Coins, buttons, or hairpins trapped in the drum or pump filter often create a metallic rattling sound.
3. Worn-out drum bearings: A loud grinding or roaring noise, especially as the spin speed increases, usually indicates failing tub bearings.
4. Overloading: Packing too many clothes can cause the drum to become unbalanced and hit the outer casing.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Check the leveling: Place a spirit level on top of the machine and adjust the feet until it is perfectly balanced on all four corners.
2. Inspect the drum: Reach inside the drum to check for loose items trapped between the seal and the metal basket.
3. Clean the drain pump filter: Locate the small access door at the bottom front of the machine, drain the water, and remove any debris found in the filter.
4. Redistribute the load: Ensure the clothes are evenly spread inside the drum and not bunched up on one side.
