Some noise during spin is normal, but a constant roar, metallic rattling, or the washer walking across the floor signals a problem. The type of noise helps diagnosis a lot.
Possible causes
- Transit bolts left in a new washer
- Unlevelled feet or uneven floor
- Worn bearings (a roar that rises with speed)
- Weak shock absorbers or springs
- A metal object trapped between drum and tub
- Loose counterweight
Safe first checks you can do
Safety: unplug the appliance and close the water tap before any check, and never open the outer casing or electronic boards yourself.
- Confirm transit bolts were removed on new washers
- Level the feet using a spirit level
- Check pockets before washing
- With power off, turn the drum by hand and listen for grinding

When do you need a technician?
A roar that grows with speed usually means failed bearings; delaying the repair can damage the drum shaft. Get it checked early.
Frequently asked questions
Does vibration harm the washer?
Repeated heavy vibration strains shock absorbers, bearings and the cabinet, and can pull on the hoses.
