Samsung Washer - Appliance is noisy

When your Samsung washer gets too noisy, it is necessary to denote the type of sound it makes. A loud banging noise doubts the tub bearing functioning. All washing machines have a part called a tub bearing, which the tub sits on, allowing it to move freely without resistance. If your washing machine makes banging noises, and if they get louder over time, this could be a good indication that the tub bearing is worn out. If your washing machine is a front-loader, you can test if the bearing is bad by spinning the tub. If there’s unusual noise or the tub spins unevenly, it’ll need to be replaced. A lack of lubrication may also cause the tub bearing to wear out more quickly. Your owner’s manual will have more information on how to access and replace the tub bearing for your washer. Remember to disconnect the machine from power and from water before opening the machinery. The drive pulley will require the thorough check as well. Connected to the motor by a belt, the drive pulley is a wheel that rotates the inner tub of the washing machine. Over time, it can become loose and the poor connection with the inner tub can lead to significant noise during its operation. Top-loading washers usually have the drive pulley at the bottom of the machine, while front-loaders typically have theirs at the back, making them a bit more accessible. Replacing the drive pulley requires getting into the internal components of your washing machine, so you should always consult your owner’s manual first. Other parts could also need a diagnostic.
