Why Is Your Washing Machine Making Loud Noise During Spin Cycle?

A washing machine that violently vibrates, thumps, or sounds like a jet engine during the spin cycle is not just noisy—it can cause permanent drum and motor damage if ignored.

Common Causes & Solutions:

• Uneven Weight Distribution: Washing a single heavy blanket or bunching towels on one side forces the drum out of balance.
• Unlevel Machine Base: Adjust the four corner screw legs with a spirit level to ensure solid floor contact.
• Worn-Out Tub Bearings: If there is a grinding metallic roar during spin, water may have leaked past the seal into the bearings.
• Defective Shock Absorbers / Suspension Springs: Front-load washers rely on dampers to absorb high-speed spin momentum.

Never continue running a machine with severe thumping. Our verified technicians can replace shock absorbers and drum bearings on the same day.
