Washer Making Noise? What the Sound Means and When to Call

Banging, grinding, roaring or squealing from a washing machine usually means something is loose, worn or about to fail. Catching it early can prevent more expensive damage.

Joseph Services diagnoses and repairs noisy washers in homes across Montréal, Laval and the South Shore.

What to Check Before You Call

  1. Check that the washer is level and all four feet are firmly on the floor.
  2. Remove any shipping bolts if the washer is new.
  3. Run a spin cycle with an even load to see whether the noise is caused by imbalance.
  4. Check pockets for coins and keys, and clean the drain pump filter on front-load washers.

Common Washer Noises and Their Causes

Banging During Spin

Usually an unbalanced load, or worn suspension rods, shock absorbers or springs that can no longer hold the tub steady.

Loud Roaring or Grinding During Spin

Often a sign of worn drum bearings, commonly after the tub seal has leaked. This repair should be done before the drum or spider arm is damaged.

Rattling or Clicking

Coins, buttons or hair pins in the drain pump or between the drum and tub.

Humming Without Draining

A drain pump that hums but does not move water may be blocked or failing.

Squealing

A worn drive belt or motor bearing on belt-drive washers.
