Why does the washing machine creak?

The reasons for the fact that the washing machine creaks during the spin cycle or during washing can be different. We will analyze the most common ones in this article.

Most often, parts rubbing against each other creak. To identify them, you need to disassemble the washing machine and carry out detailed diagnostics.

It will be possible to independently check only the presence of a blockage in the cuff of the hatch. This happens if your washing machine is installed a short distance from the drum.

If the rubber perimeter of the loading hatch is clean and the problem is different, it is better to entrust the setting of the washing machines to a trusted master.

    Cause of squeaking in the washing machine?

    Worn one or both springs. The washing machine tank hangs on special spring fasteners, which lose their original properties during operation. The places of their connection with other parts of the washing machine begin to creak. Both need to be replaced.

  • Shock absorber wear occurs when the load of shock absorbers is unevenly distributed, both need to be replaced. The reasons may be long operation or skewed installation.
  • Have you noticed that the drum creaks in the washing machine? Do not avoid disassembling washing machines. In some cases, the seal may be damaged or dried out, then the bearings may rust and make a squeak or knock.The reason may be the wear of the drive belt from careless and long use of washing machines, as well as from frequent overloads. It is stretched or loose and needs to be replaced. In rare cases, it can be adjusted.

We understand why a creak is heard in the washing machine during the spin cycle:

  1. This can happen when random objects hit and rub against the tank and other parts. For example, a coin or a sock can enter through the manhole cuff. This item will not only prevent the tank from rotating freely, but will also jam it with further use.
  2. Squeaking in the drum, especially common in washing machine brands Indesit or Candydue to its imbalance. This happens after prolonged use, when the fasteners wear out, the shaft touches any of the parts of the washing machine, and this creates a creak. This problem is solved by replacing the drum shaft mounts.
  3. It happens that during the spin cycle, the loose parts of the washing machine body creak. A specialist will check and tighten all body fasteners.
  4. Often a creak is emitted by a narrow washing machine when the drum rotates from the proximity of the main parts and loose tank fasteners. The solution to this problem is also diagnostics and adjustment of fasteners.

If a metallic sound occurs along with the squeak, most likely all shaft bearings will need to be replaced.

If your washing machine makes any extraneous creaking during spinning, during washing or during drum rotation, contact a specialist by phone on the site as soon as possible, or leave a request to the master, he will call you back!
