Noisy Washing Machine

Question

I have a noisy washing machine. It’s almost like a grinding noise when it washes or spins. Any ideas? 
Many thanks

Paul · Answer

It sounds like the drum bearings need replacement ones they are probably worn

Michal · Answer

It will be most probably drum bearings. I attended small maintenance last week and met a bosch engineer fixing exactly the same issue - he did say that in 9 out of 10 cases this is the reason behind the noise you mentioned.

Could be the brushes needing replaced get it a service and that way you will know what it needs

Gary · Answer

Possible the bearings in the motor. Ideally speak to an appliance engineer

Gatebridge · Answer

This is most common when there is an issue with the washing machine ball bearing, you may need to adjust or replace the current ball bearing of the drum

Keith · Answer

The most common cause is the washing machine drum bearings being worn out or the motor bushes/brushes being worn down.  Either of these job can be replaced in 2-3 hours.

It might be from the stabilizers, or in most cases it's a case of it not being leveled

Lloyd · Answer

Grinding noise could be a couple of things.

If the bearings have broken apart and the little metal balls are loose in the machine it may cause a grinding noise.
If the bearings have gone in the first instance it'll make a rumbling noise, but if it's broken apart that could be the grinding. 

Possible worn clutch, is the intermittent slowing down when it's going through the wash cycle?  If you can't tell if it's slowing, listen to the drum and if you notice any difference in the humming sound as it spins it could be a broken clutch. 

May even be something as simple as a bit of grit stuck somewhere. 

If you can't find anything lodged anywhere, your best bet is to have someone out to check it or if it's under warranty contact the seller.

The chances are the bearings need replacing. I have seen a problem like this before where the drum had loosened but that’s unlikely. So it’s probably the bearings

Peter · Answer

Hi,

It is most likely a loose or worn out drum bearings.

George · Answer

It will be the motor I can easily fix it for you but to be honest  you will be better of getting a replacement
