Last Update date : 2023-05-03

It's normal for your washer to make some operational noise during a wash cycle, but if it's making too much noise or vibrating excessively, it's time to call a professional.

Here are some simple troubleshooting tips to help you get it quiet:

Make sure it's installed on a level solid surface, also make sure to adjust the feet, an uneven surface is one of the most common reasons for excessive noise or vibration.

Make sure to remove shipping bolts when a washing machine is delivered, it will come fitted with bolts to hold the drum in place during transportation. These bolts must be removed before use.

Make sure to balance the load. Washing only one heavy item will cause excessive noise and vibration and could damage the washing machine.

Check for overloading, how much weight the washer can handle is based on its capacity. On many devices, you can find the maximum capacity of your washing machine on the control panel.

Check if there is damage to the door seal that surrounds the outside of the drum can rub against the washing  drum as it spins. When this occurs, it can produce unusual noises.

Avoid any cluttered space, make sure the washer is not in contact with any other object around its outside.

1 Make sure to remove metal objects, such as coins, from your clothes to prevent clanging sounds, also clothing with metal decorations, like buttons or zippers, tend to make noise during a wash. You can turn these garments inside out to lessen the noise.
2 Certain items like heavy or waterproof items, can make thumping or knocking sounds when they've washed alone in a cycle. Try to insert a small piece of cotton with them to avoid the noises.
