Tips From Our Appliance Services on How to Stops a Noisy Washing Machine
A noisy washing machine can be a nuisance, however, it is often a simple fix. Which is why Wellman's Appliance Repair LLC, an affordable appliance repair service company, has written this blog, so you can try a few of our tips, before calling us. The very first thing you must remember to do is switch off your machine. Then follow our simple tips to locate the problem and sort out your machine.
Check for any loose objects
Often, the noise could be something banging around in your drum that shouldn’t be. The most common culprit are coins, pens, key rings, and any other small metal object which you carry in your pocket.
Make sure the feet are level
Every washing machine must come with feet that help to balance it. And when one of these is loose, it means your machine is off-balance and will create a great deal of noise when you use it. Loosen the locking nuts and adjust the feet so they are all level. If need be, use a spirit level to make sure everything is correct. And remember to lock the nuts back into place, or your machine will quickly become unbalanced again.
Make sure your load is balanced
Trying to wash one item at a time will mean your machine is unbalanced, thus making a loud noise. New machines will come with a built-in mechanism which will detect and regulate this, however, they are not foolproof.
Check the bearings
This is another common cause of noisy washing machines. When your drum shows resistance when you turn it by hand, then you may have a bearing that is going out. And, look to see if the drum is properly aligned with its rubber seal. If not, then a bearing is the likely culprit.
