Why Is My GE Washing Machine Making a Loud Noise? How to Identify & Fix the Problem

Identifying the Cause

Faulty Pump: The pump helps drain water from your machine; if it’s defective, it might make a loud noise during the drain cycle. Inspecting and replacing a faulty pump should be done by a professional.

Unbalanced Load: Often, a loud banging or thumping noise occurs when the washer is running with an unbalanced load. Make sure to distribute your laundry evenly within the drum.

Loose Drum: If the noise sounds like rattling, the drum might be loose. Inspect these components for any play or movement and tighten them as needed.

Worn-Out Bearings: A grinding or squealing noise can indicate that the drum bearings are worn out. This requires a bit more expertise and potentially a professional repair.

Trapped Objects: Small items like coins or keys may get trapped along the drum, causing a rattling sound. If possible clear any debris.

DIY Fixes

• Adjust the Load: Always ensure that your laundry is evenly spread out in the washer drum to prevent unbalanced loads.
• Tighten Loose Parts: Use the appropriate tools to secure any loose components within the washer.
• Clean the Drum: Regularly clean the drum and remove any foreign objects that might cause noise.
