A Maytag washer is renowned for its reliability and efficiency, but even the most dependable appliances can sometimes make a bit more noise than you'd like. If you've been hearing strange clanks, thuds, or hums from your Maytag washing machine, don't worry; we're here to help you troubleshoot the issue and bring back the peace and quiet to your laundry routine.
Check for Loose Objects
The first step in diagnosing a noisy Maytag washer is to inspect it for any loose objects. Coins, buttons, or small items left in pockets can often make their way into the drum and create loud noises during the wash cycle. Carefully check the drum and the rubber door gasket for any foreign objects that might be causing the commotion.
Level Your Washer
An improperly levelled washer can lead to excessive noise, especially during the spin cycle. Use a bubble level to ensure that your Maytag washer is sitting on a level surface. Adjust the levelling feet as needed to eliminate any wobbling.
Examine the Drum Bearings
Worn-out drum bearings can be a common cause of a noisy washer. To check if this is the issue, try spinning the drum by hand when the washer is not in use. If you hear a grinding or rumbling sound, it's likely that the drum bearings need replacement. This is a more complex repair that may require professional assistance.
Inspect the Drive Belt
A loose or damaged drive belt can also result in unusual noises during operation. Turn off the washer, unplug it, and check the belt for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If you notice any issues, it's advisable to replace the belt promptly.
Check for Unbalanced Loads
Overloading your washer or washing unevenly distributed loads can lead to loud noises. Make sure you're following the recommended load capacity for your specific Maytag washer model and distribute clothes evenly to prevent imbalance.
