A grinding noise when the drum turns
A rubbing, rumbling or grinding drum can indicate foreign objects between tubs, worn bearings, a damaged pulley or a motor problem. A sound only during spin has different implications from one heard during slow hand rotation.
We assess drum play, the drive system and the timing of the sound. Early inspection can prevent a small obstruction from damaging the drum or outer tub.
Before the visit: Do not keep running noisy high-speed cycles to test whether it improves.
Rattling after installation or relocation
An appliance moved into a new laundry space may rattle because it is not level, has a bent foot, is touching a wall, or was transported without the appropriate protection. Internal suspension damage must also be considered.
We review the placement and recent move history before dismantling assemblies. Fixing clearance and levelling can solve some noises without parts; damaged suspension still needs professional attention.
Before the visit: Check whether the noise began immediately after moving the machine.
High-pitched noise near the pump
A sharp whine when the machine empties can indicate a restricted pump impeller or motor wear. The sound may change as the water level falls and should be differentiated from a spinning-drum bearing noise.
We assess the pump path and impeller condition while inspecting for trapped debris. A pump replacement should be based on function and testing, not on noise alone.
Before the visit: Do not put fingers or tools into an energised pump compartment.
