Washing machines are household appliances that are not used by everyoneday, but is experiencing heavy loads. It is important not only to choose the right washing machine when buying, but also to know how to properly care for this device. Most models have similar problems, therefore, knowing the types of breakdowns of washing machines, you can eliminate them by putting some effort yourself.
This device, no matter what brand it is, wears out over time, like any other mechanism. The device may start to work incorrectly or in time. Before you do anything with it, you need to understand why the washing machine rattles. Noise can be factory, as not all models work quietly enough, and can be a consequence of a breakdown, which in time will disable the device.
Common causes of loud sounds when operating
Noise in the washing machine can be caused by the following reasons:
- Bolts used to fix the drum, forgot to remove during transportation.
- Bearings are out of order.
- A foreign object is stuck between the wall and the drum.
- The drum has a drive system with a pulley that could loosen.
- Counterweights are not fixed or it is done badly.
- The sunroof seal has become unusable.
- Incorrect installation of the device.
In order to correctly determine why the washing machine is noisy, it is necessary to pay attention when the noise starts and stops. It can occur when turning on, when pressing or performing other functions.
If the washing machine is very loud, the is not always at home, it is possible to accurately determine the cause of the malfunction of household appliances. This requires taking into account the model, age, brand of the device, as well as have some professional skills or experience to choose the right option. If the cause of the failure can not be established, it is better to seek professional help.
The main causes and remedies for
When washing, small items can fall outside the tank wall and get stuck between it and the drum. It can be like small pieces of clothing, for example, socks, and small stones, trash from pockets, torn buttons and buttons, coins. In this case, the washing machine rattles when pressed. When the washing process takes place, foreign objects vibrate little and do not make noise, but when the drum starts to spin, strange sounds form at high speeds.
In order to remove the debris, you need to remove the heater and remove manually all that is accumulated between the drum and the wall.
Often after the transportation of the purchase, the new owners forget to remove the transportation bolts from the tank. Bolts are required to ensure that the shock absorber springs are not damaged during transportation. If you do not release them, you will hear a loud knock when the unit is working and a strange vibration will appear. In order to solve the problem, you just need to unscrew these latches.
If the bearings are faulty, the washing machine is very noisy constantly .Many models have several such bearings. In order to check this unit, the device must be disconnected from the power supply and try to turn the drum by hand. If it makes sounds and turns with effort, then it's time to change the bearings.
The weakening of the pulley of the drum drive is checked as follows: the device is started in the test mode. In this mode, the part rotates slowly one way, then the other. It will be necessary to listen, whether at this moment there is a characteristic click. If it is, the drive is loosened. To correct this problem, remove the rear wall of the machine and tighten the pulley nut.
The drum of the washing machine also rattles, if its counterweights are loose. These devices are in the circle of the tank of the machine and serve to repel vibrations from the occurrence of centrifugal force during the operation of the drum. Most often this problem affects poor-quality or old devices, where the connections managed to get loose from the constant shaking. Correct the problem by tightening the nuts of all the fasteners.
The reason why the washing machine is droning
Noise may also appear if the device is not properly installed. The floor should be fairly even and firm, should not sag. When the drum rotates, a centrifugal force arises, due to which the following occurs:
- Loud knocking.
- External vibrations.
- The appliance starts to swing.
This problem is fixed quite simply: it is required to install the washing machine on a level on a hard floor.
If the washing machine becomes very noisy , and visually everything is in order, it will not be superfluous to check the condition of the rubber seal for sealing the hatch. It happens that the rubber is cracked or the seal is all right, but it does not fit in size. The drum can cling to the seal during operation, resulting in a squeak.
Most often, extraneous noise when pressed in a washing machine becomes heard best, because the drum spins to a high speed. If the washing is stopped at that moment and you look inside the machine, you can find the rubber shavings. It is sufficient to replace the sealant or install it in such a way that it does not interfere with the rotation of the drum. The excess seal can be trimmed neatly with a knife or sandpapered with sandpaper. After that, the chips will need to be removed.
If the washing machine is rattling when draining , , the possible cause of the malfunction may be a malfunction of the drain pump. It can either completely fail, or trash.
The washing machine is rattling when pushing it out, not always due to some kind of breakdown. Many models have a rather noisy spin function, and this should be described in the home appliance passport. Most manufacturers indicate this point in decibels. However, if you heard a metallic clanking or knocking, you should try to find the cause of the malfunction. Possible causes of the breakdown of the washing machine can be as follows:
- The drum bearings could have worn out or the element has a large backlash. To check this, you need to disconnect the device from the network and try moving the drum up and down. If it manages to move more than 1 cm, then the play is too big. It is audible only at push-up, because at this moment the drum experiences maximum loads.
- Noise may also appear due to wear of the drain pump bushings or foreign objects( stones, coins, debris) entering it.
The reason for noise in the washing machine can be an elementary hit in the drum of small metal objects;to get rid of this problem they just need to be removed.
It is important to correctly set the level of the machine and fix the adjusting bolts. To reduce the vibration when the washing machine can be put under the feet of rubber or buying in the store special supports dampers from silicone under the legs.
Many people are faced with such a problem that the washing machine does not drain water and hums. This is a common fault, and it can be caused:
- by clogging or breakage of the drain pump;
- by a blockage of the drain hose or nozzles;
- kink of drain hose;
- clogged with a fill filter.
If the water does not drain then first check the pump blades.
It often gets junk and metal objects, for example, small money. Extraneous noise in the washing machine can be heard both at the beginning of its operation, and after trying to drain the water.
This is done like this: there is a small door, behind which is a drain filter and pump blades. The door is opened by hand, and the filter is carefully unscrewed. Water will flow from there, so immediately place rags. After the plug has been unscrewed, it is required to clean it and check carefully the place for foreign objects and get them. Empty the pump blades from the debris. Screw the filter back in and check the operation of the device.
If the appliance does not work anyway, the main causes of the washing machine malfunction may be hiding in the pump malfunction or the contamination of the drain hose. If the water does not come out after the filter has been removed, it means that the garbage is stuck in the nozzle or the branch pipe is bent.
With a long wedged blade, the pump breaks down. The blessing of it can be bought the cost of it on average 1500 rubles. Replacing the pump pump does not have special skills.
Some brands display a warning when a fault occurs. So, for example, if the Samsung washing machine is noisy, the code E2 can be seen on the display. This means that the noise is caused by some kind of malfunction.
You run the program and the washing machine is not filled with water, then the probable causes are as follows: 
- the faucet was closed;
- bend of the pipe;The
- clogged the filter mesh that is installed in the hose connection.
If these reasons are eliminated then the case with the valve or microcircuit here can not do without the master.
Depending on the cost and the time of operation, it is not always advisable to carry out such repairs.
Solution of the main noise problems
The causes of the breakdown of the washing machine can be concluded both in factory spoilage and in the natural wear and tear of the equipment. Often faults are caused by improper use of the device or inattentive to it. You can get rid of many problems if you check the pockets of clothes before washing in time, shake it out: this will help to prevent clogging of filters and nozzles. 
Noise in the washing machine when the drum is rotated is often caused by small objects that freely rotate with clothing, or rapid wear of the bearings. In order to prolong the life of the mechanisms, it is necessary not to overload the drum of the washing machine during loading, also it is not recommended to use it half-empty.
Too frequent breakdowns of washing machines can result from systematic malfunctions of this appliance. If you learn how to use technology properly, many problems can be avoided.
