Is your washing machine making loud buzzing noises each time you run a load of laundry? If so, it’s likely there is an issue that needs to be addressed. Fortunately, most of the time you can address the issue yourself without having to contact an appliance repair technician from our directory.
Before diving into more advanced solutions, it’s always best to start with simple troubleshooting. First and foremost, check the balance of your washing machine – this is often responsible for loud buzzing sounds. Make sure that all four feet are securely in place on the floor and level with one another. It’s also a good idea to check for any loose screws or other parts on the bottom of the washer that might be causing rattling noises when it runs.
Next, take a look at some other potential causes for your noisy washer:
• Drive Belt: A worn or stretched out drive belt can cause loud buzzing sounds as well as reduced performance from your washing machine. Check that the belt is in good condition and properly attached to both the motor and drum components of your unit.
• Water Pressure Valve: If you have low water pressure coming into your home, this could also lead to loud noises coming from your washer’s motor during operation. Check both hot and cold water lines leading up to the unit – if either one isn’t fully open you may need to adjust them accordingly or replace faulty valves altogether.
• Drum Bearing: If all else fails then it could be possible that there is an issue with one or more bearing inside of your drum assembly causing excessive noise whenever it rotates at full speed during a cycle – this will require disassembling and replacing any damaged parts which should only be done by a qualified appliance repair technician from our directory
