The washing machine is not silent during operation, but makes sounds - when washing, when rinsing or during the spinning program.
But sometimes the machine begins to rattle, hum, whistle and noise very loudly, which does not positively affect the human nervous system.
How to determine which noise is normal and which is not?
It all depends on the drive.
Why does the washing machine buzz or whistle when washing?
Such a malfunction can occur the first time you start the machine. In this case, you can check the shipping bolts, maybe about them just forgot and not removed. Or maybe the technique is incorrectly installed and needs to be adjusted.
Causes of failure in other cases can be many. Let's consider the main moments at which the machine can make strange soundssounds.
Worn bearings, belt, counterweight and pulley
Pulley
A common situation for older automatic machines. If the washing machine begins to hum or makes clicking sounds, it is likely that the pulley is loose.
Belt
To get to the belt and pulley in order to check their performance, you need:
Remove the back cover, under which the big wheel is located - this is the pulley.- Inspect the pulley for defects. If there are none, go ahead.
- The drive belt is attached to the pulley and needs to be carefully inspected for a defect because even a minor nick will affect its operation.
Counterweight
If the belt is also in working order, then you need to get to the counterweight.
To do this, you must first find the counterweight. It looks like a big rock bolted to the machine. If the mounting holes are larger than the bolts screwed in there, the counterweight has to be replaced. To be 100 percent sure of the replacement, try rocking the counterweight from side to side. If it wobbles, it is definitely replaceable.
Bearing
An unfortunate breakdown is a bearing failure. Why? Because it is very difficult, but possible, to replace it yourself.
- You will need to remove the heater and pull out the motor, pushing the belt.
- Next, you get the tank, which should be hollowed out.
- It remains to knock out the bearings and replace them with new ones.
Problem with the door seal
The washing machine whistles or in the spinning strongly hums and it is not clear, what does it have to do with the cuff?
But in fact, if the cuff is not properly installed, it may not fit in the groove of the machine, which prevents the door from closing tightly.
Or the cuff can hang down or even be installed "in the wrong way". If the cuff is clinging to an edge, the following steps can help correct it:
- Inspect the cuff.
- Locate the clinging edge.
- To correct a small edge of up to 0.5 cm, you will need fine sandpaper (not a knife) which is inserted in the gap between this edge.
- The next action is to turn on the spin mode. The meaning is that the drum, rotating, will erase the protruding part, and the machine will stop making noise. If the edge is larger, the best solution is to replace the cuff.
Foreign Objects
Not always the fault is caused by moving elements of the machine.
Sometimes the washing machine whistles when the drum rotates due to the presence of foreign objects.
These may be paper clips, pins, coins, nails, underwear bones, etc. These cute and small items are quite capable of sending the machine to the dump.
If the foreign object is between the drum and the cuff, it can be removed.
If it is out of reach, you will have to disassemble the machine.
- The back cover is removed,
- Then the heating element is removed,
- After that, the causes of grinding are removed.
In the event that the option through the heating element is not available, it is possible to get inside the machine through the spigot. To do this, the machine is laid on its side and the cover is removed from the bottom. The spigot is also removed and the objects are taken out.
Worn brushes in the engine
Usually with such a problem, the washing machine hums and knocks loudly. To replace with a new part, you will have to completely disassemble the washing machine.
The problem with the drain pump
The washing machine hums when draining water - this is a characteristic sound when the drain system does not work. In general, the problem is solvable and rarely needs to replace the part. To diagnose the problem, the pump is removed from the machine and cleaned.
If the filter is clogged
If the machine drains, but there is an extraneous sound, perhaps the filter is clogged. Cleaning it will help. The filter is in the front bottom part of the machine. Unscrew it counterclockwise. In the process of removing the water may leak on the floor, it is necessary to prepare a low container for its collection.
If you can not do it yourself, do not torture yourself and the machine, it may be better to trust a specialist?
