Modern washing machines are no longer so noisy, and some work almost inaudibly. When washing machine makes noise, although before that it did not work very loudly, it is unpleasant for you and your neighbors.

Why is the washing machine making noise?

Washing machine making noise - let's figure it out. As a rule, a washing machine that has already served you for some time starts to make noise. If a new, just installed, model makes noise, then most likely it was installed incorrectly.

Noisy new washing machine

Check if you have unscrewed the transport bolts that fix drum washing machines during transportation and thereby ensure its safety. They are located on the back of the case. Unscrew the bolts before the first start of the washing machine, and insert the plugs that come with the kit into the holes.

Sometimes new washing machine makes noise due to strong vibration due to improper installation of the supports.Remember that the legs of the washing machine must be adjusted in height! After that, you need to check the stability of the washing machine, as well as its location relative to the horizon (evenness is checked using the building level).

It is also worth considering that the floor under the washing machine must be flat and hard. It is not recommended to install the washing machine on uneven, soft, ribbed surfaces.

Is your washing machine making noise recently?

Among the main reasons that washing machine makes noise when washing or spinning, the following can be named:

• Cracks on the body of the washing machine in the area of ​​\u200b\u200blegs or shock absorbers.
• The drum pulley loosened.
• The bolts fixing the engine loosened, which caused a slight backlash.
• Shock absorbers do not cope with their function.
• Formation of cracks in the tank.
• Breakage of the springs holding the tank.
• The bearings have failed.
• The bolts holding the counterweights have loosened.

Noise during spin

If a washing machine makes noise, when spinning clothes, then the point is most likely in the bearings. It's pretty easy to check. If you also hear noise (tapping, etc.) when manually rotating the empty drum of the washing machine, the bearings are definitely defective.

Diagnose backlash of the drum is also possible independently. To do this, turn off the power to the washing machine and try to swing the drum of the washing machine from the inside with your hands up and down. If the amplitude of the displacement of the drum is 1 cm or more, then the bearings are worn out quite strongly. And since a significant load on the drum and bearings occurs precisely during the spin cycle, hence the noise of the washing machine in this mode.

Although some of the reasons why the washing machine is noisy seem not so serious, after all, diagnosis and repair better to dovarit specialist.

So, for example, to replace bearings, it is necessary to almost completely disassemble the washing machine. To make repairs with high quality, and most importantly, not to make a mistake with the cause, can only repair specialist.
