Noise symptoms occurring during the use of your Samsung front load washing machine

Last Update date : Sep 02. 2026

The noises you may hear while using a top-loading washing machine can be due to various factors, such as water supply and drainage, motor operation, an unbalanced load, installation conditions, the presence of foreign objects, or a malfunctioning component.

Check for normal and abnormal noises that may occur during product use.

Noise during water supply

The noises you hear during water delivery could be due to water pressure, foreign particles in the inlet filter, the operation of the supply valve, or vibration and impact from the supply hose. If the noise is excessive or persistent, we recommend adjusting the water pressure at the tap, cleaning the inlet filter after disconnecting the supply hose, and checking the hose connection.

Normal noise

It can occur during water supply.

Abnormal noise

Coming from the area of the water supply valve.

Noise during drainage

The noises you hear during drainage could be due to the drain pump operating or foreign objects in the drain filter. If you hear rattling or knocking noises, try removing and cleaning the drain filter.

Normal noise

It can occur during drainage.

Abnormal noise

Coming from the area of the drainage pump.

Noise during spin cycle (phase in which the rotation speed increases)

Some noise during the spin cycle is normal due to the high rotation speed. However, the noise may increase due to an unbalanced load, installation conditions, or component failures in your washing machine.

Normal noise

It can occur during the phase in which the RPMs increase during centrifugation.

Abnormal noise

Due to leveling problems during the spin cycle.

Abnormal noise

Due to the friction of the guide spring during the spin cycle.

Noise during spin cycle (phase in which the rotation speed is at its maximum)

During the spin cycle, the drum reaches its maximum rotation speed to extract water from the clothes. Due to the high revolutions per minute (RPM), it's normal to notice an increase in noise and vibration levels compared to other stages of the cycle. However, certain sounds may indicate a problem with specific components of the product.
