One of the common problems that households using washing machines often encounter is excessive shaking and loud noises during the washing process. If the shaking is too strong or the machine emits loud sounds, it means that there are some issues that need to be checked during operation.
There are 5 basic causes of shaking and loud noises in the washing machine you are using:
– Putting too much clothes in the machine beyond the allowed capacity causes the machine to be overloaded and unbalanced during operation. This is a common mistake that many people make by trying to fit as many clothes as possible into the machine for convenience. This habit not only damages the washing machine but also prevents the clothes from being cleaned properly.

– The washing machine is not placed on a balanced position, causing the drum to be tilted and unbalanced during operation, resulting in loud noises from the collision between the drum and the washing machine casing.
– The clothes are piled up in one corner, causing imbalance and making the drum collide with the machine casing, creating loud noises and strong shaking.
– Foreign objects inside the machine hit the drum, causing strange noises.
– Technical malfunctions such as a bent drum shaft, faulty shock absorbers, incorrectly installed load-bearing devices, malfunctioning motor for the rotating drum, or a misaligned belt… can also be the cause of this problem.
The number one cause of washing machine shaking is the unbalanced placement, causing the drum to tilt and create loud noises during operation.
If the cause originates from technical malfunctions, you need to contact the service center immediately for timely and proper repair. In cases where the shaking and loud noises are caused by minor issues, you can try the following solutions:
– Check if the machine is placed on a balanced surface. If it is not, you can move the washing machine to a balanced position or reinforce the position with bricks, wooden bars, etc.
– Although washing machines have a maximum washing capacity specified, experts recommend only washing about 2/3 of the rated load to ensure the effectiveness and longevity of the machine. Especially when washing thick clothes, the load should be less than 2/3 of the rated capacity. On the other hand, if there are too few clothes, it is not advisable to wash them as it will waste electricity and water and can cause strong shaking.

– Users should separate clothes and place them in the same direction before putting them into the washing machine to avoid tangling. In this way, the clothes will not only be wrinkled and less durable but also prevent the drum from being misaligned, causing loud noises.
– Check whether the water level is close to the drum during each wash. If there is not enough water, you can open the washing machine door and add water before starting or call a repairman for assistance.
– Before doing the laundry, you should check the drum and clothes for foreign objects such as stones, iron objects… that may get stuck to the clothes, which can cause the drum to collide with foreign objects, creating loud noises and reducing the lifespan of the machine.
