Washing Machine Making Noise?
Banging, Grinding, Rattling or Unusual Washing Machine Sounds?
A roar or grinding that gets louder on spin usually means worn drum bearings. Banging points to worn shock absorbers or springs, rattling to a coin or underwire in the drum or pump, and a hum to the pump or motor. Our technicians find the source on site in Harare.

Are Washing Machine Noises Normal?
Water filling, the drum turning and a steady whirr on spin are normal. A deep roar or grinding that rises with spin speed is the classic sign of worn drum bearings. Banging during spin usually means worn shock absorbers or springs, and a rattle that comes and goes is often a coin, hair clip or bra wire caught between the drum and the tub or in the pump.
LG direct-drive machines have no belt, so a new rumble often points to the bearings or the rotor. Samsung, Defy and Hisense machines are checked for the belt, pulley, pump and suspension as well. Our washing machine repairs technicians identify the noise on a test run; book a repair with a short video of the sound.
What Noise Is Your Washing Machine Making?
Roaring or grinding on spin
Worn drum bearings, often with water leaking from the rear seal.
Banging or thumping
Worn shock absorbers or springs, or an unbalanced load.
Rattling or clicking
A coin, clip or underwire in the drum, tub or pump.
Loud hum at drain time
A jammed or worn drain pump.
Squealing
A worn or loose drive belt.
Knocking in a new machine
Transit bolts still fitted at the back.
Common Causes of Washing Machine Noise
- Worn drum bearings
- Worn shock absorbers or springs
- Coin or underwire between drum and tub
- Object caught in the drain pump
- Worn or loose drive belt
- Transit bolts left in a new machine
- Broken drum spider on front-loaders
When to stop using the appliance
Switch the appliance off at the wall if you notice a burning smell, smoke, sparking, exposed wiring, repeated breaker trips or water near electrical parts. Leave electrical covers, high-voltage parts and the heater, motor, pump and anything behind a cover to a technician, then call or WhatsApp 0719 227 718 and we will arrange an assessment.
What Can You Safely Check First?
Empty pockets before every wash, and put bras in a wash bag. Turn the empty drum slowly by hand: a gritty or rumbling feel suggests bearings. On a new machine, check the transit bolts at the back have been removed.
Clear the pump filter if your model has one. A coin rattling in the pump is a common, easy fix.
When to Pause Further Loads
Stop using high spin if the machine bangs, walks or grinds loudly. Worn bearings get worse quickly and can damage the drum and tub if the machine keeps spinning.
How We Diagnose a Noisy Washing Machine
The technician runs a test cycle, listens at each stage, checks the drum for play, inspects the shock absorbers, springs, belt and pump, and removes any object caught between the drum and tub.
You get the cause and a quote before any work starts. On bearing jobs we tell you honestly whether the repair is worth it for the age of the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions About Washing Machine Making Noise
Why is my washing machine so loud when it spins?
A roar or grind that gets louder as the spin speeds up is usually worn drum bearings. Banging is more often worn shock absorbers or an unbalanced load.
Why does my washing machine rattle?
Most often a coin, hair clip or bra wire is caught in the pump or between the drum and the tub. We remove it and check for damage.
Is it worth replacing washing machine bearings?
On many machines, yes. On models where the bearings are sealed into a one-piece tub, the job costs more, so we compare it with the age of the machine and tell you straight.
How much does it cost to fix a noisy washing machine?
Removing a coin or replacing a belt is quick. Shock absorbers are moderate, and bearings cost more. We diagnose first and quote before any work starts.
