The washing machine makes noise and does not give you peace?
Modern washing machines are no longer as noisy, and some work almost inaudibly. When your washing machine is noisyAlthough before it worked not very loudly, it is unpleasant for you and your neighbors. And although the quality of washing is usually not affected, but it gives you some inconvenience.
Why has the machine started to make noise?
The washing machine is noisy - Let's sort it out. As a rule, the washing machine that has already served you for some time begins to make noise. If a new, newly installed model makes noise, it is likely that it has not been installed correctly.
New washing machine noises
Check to see if you have unscrewed the shipping bolts that secure the the drum of the washing machine Check to see if you have unscrewed the shipping screws that secure the drum in place during transport to keep it in place. They are located on the back side of the body. You should unscrew the bolts already before the first start of the machine, and in the holes insert the plugs that come with the kit.
Sometimes a new new washer makes noise due to strong vibration due to improperly installed feet. Remember that the feet of the washing machine must be adjusted in height! After that, you need to check the stability of the machine, as well as its location relative to the horizon (flatness is checked with a building level).
Also note that the floor under the machine must be flat and solid. Do not place the washer-dryer on uneven, soft, ribbed surfaces.
Has the washing machine been making noise recently?
Among the main reasons that washing machine makes noise when washing or spinning, include the following:
- Cracks on the body of the machine in the area of the feet or shock absorbers.
- The pulley of the drum is loose.
- Loose bolts that fix the motor, which caused a small backlash.
- Shock absorbers do not cope with their function.
- Formation of cracks on the tank.
- Breakage of springs holding the tank.
- Bearings have failed.
- Bolts holding the counterweights loose.
Noise during spinning
If your washing machine is making a noise, when wringing your laundry, it is probably the bearings. To check this is quite simple. If when manually rotating the empty drum of the machine you also hear noise (knocking, etc.) - the bearings are definitely faulty.
Diagnose drum backlash can also be diagnosed by yourself. To do this, de-energize the washing machine and try to swing the drum of the machine by hand from inside moving "up and down". If the amplitude of the drum displacement is 1 cm or more - it means that the bearings are worn out enough. As considerable load on the drum and bearings occurs exactly in the process of spinning, hence the noise of the machine in this mode.
Although some of the reasons for the noise of the washing machine do not seem so serious, diagnosis and repair It is better to leave the diagnostics and repair to a specialist.
So, for example, to replace the bearings, it is necessary to disassemble the washing machine almost completely. Make repairs qualitatively, and most importantly, do not make a mistake with the reason, can only specialist-repairer.

Well that's it, we have been suffering with our old one for so long, what not to do. I can't believe how quiet machines can be since we bought ours...
More likely there is something wrong with your washing machine. Our hotpoint when spinning can only be heard in two ways - it is the maximum spin, and if not fully loaded, and then it is such a sound, not loud.
