Real Reason Your Washer Sounds Like It's Exploding (How to Fix It Fast)

Washer sounds like it's exploding? The loudest bang is almost never the expensive one. The part behind it usually costs between nothing and $70. I'm Dale Merrick, 23 years fixing washers out of a shop in Dayton, Ohio. The loud calls kept our schedule full. The quiet ones reached me too late for anything but a new machine. Five washer noises, sorted by when they happen, each with a check you can do tonight for free. Plus the pressure number your own house will tell you, and the one sentence to say before a tech writes "bearing" on anything. Unplug the machine before you reach inside it, and if it's still under warranty, call them instead of opening it. 0:00 Why your washer sounds like it's exploding 1:45 How a washer tub is supposed to move 3:24 Washer ticking or scraping every turn 5:24 New washer shaking violently (shipping bolts) 7:33 Why the loudest noise is the cheapest 8:16 Loud bang in the wall when the washer fills 10:43 Washer banging on normal loads (worn shocks) 13:08 Washer noises that are normal 14:13 Washer humming or roaring on spin (bearing) 15:47 10-second washer bearing test 17:01 What to ask the repair tech 17:48 All five washer sounds recap Tell me in the comments which sound yours makes (tick, shake, wall, bang or hum) and the year you bought the machine.
