Washing machine noise and vibration

Vibration may come from uneven installation, transport bolts or an unbalanced load. Loud humming, impacts and metal noise can indicate dampers, springs, counterweights, bearings or drum parts. The technician checks leveling, mechanical play and behaviour during spin.

If noise becomes worse and drum play is noticeable, continued use may damage other components. Accurate diagnosis separates a simple adjustment from mechanical repair.
