Direct Drive Washing Machine Noises
Eeekk! My washer is making a weird noise! Put your ears to work and listen to some common washer problem sounds produced by a Whirlpool built direct drive washing machine. Washer noises can be as clear as the washing machine saying, “Hey! I have a broken motor coupling.” Once you know what causes the washer to make a sound, the next step is to fix it. (Okay, I’ll help you with that too.)
Listen to the soothing sounds of evaporation as well as the clicking, slamming, squeaking, and grinding sounds of dryer problems. Just like washers, dryer noises are a clear clue to the cause of dryer problems. Is your dryer noise a fast ticking sound? Is your dryer noise a grinding sound? You don’t need a magnifying glass Sherlock just a little sound logic.
