Washer Making Loud Noise? Same-Day Repair in Ottawa
A washing machine that bangs, grinds, squeals or rattles is trying to tell you something — and ignoring it usually makes the repair bigger. B&M Canada Appliances provides same-day, in-home washer repair across Ottawa and Gatineau for noisy washers of every brand.
5 common reasons a washer makes noise
- Worn drum (tub) bearings — a loud grinding or roaring noise during the spin cycle, often the most common cause.
- Failed motor coupling or drive belt — a rattling or slipping noise, common on top-load washers.
- Worn suspension rods or shock absorbers — banging and excessive shaking as the drum is no longer cushioned.
- Foreign object in the drum or drain pump — coins, buttons or wires caught in the pump cause a rattling or buzzing noise.
- Worn drive pulley or bearing — a squealing or whining noise that rises with the spin speed.
