Washer is very noisy during spin; banging or knocking sounds from the drum.

Safety first: Unplug the washer before tipping or opening panels.

• Check installation: Ensure all shipping bolts have been removed from the rear of a new washer. Verify the machine is level and stable.
• Inspect suspension: For front-loaders, access the bottom and check shock absorbers for leaks or looseness. For top-loaders, inspect suspension rods and springs for damage. Replace worn components.
• Counterweights: Inspect concrete or cast-iron weights on the tub for loose bolts. Tighten to manufacturer torque.
• Load size: Avoid single heavy items; balance loads to reduce vibration.
