Samsung Ecobubble makes clicky/springy noise during rinse
- The problem
- A Samsung Ecobubble 8kg front-loading washing machine developed a strange clicky or spring-like noise on the rinse cycle only. The machine did not make the noise during the wash agitation stage and still spun normally.
- Likely cause
- The strongest suggestion in the discussion was to determine whether the noise happens during draining or during the rinse drum movement. If it occurs while draining, a drain pump fault or an object rattling inside the pump was suggested. Because the original poster said it happens while actually rinsing the clothes rather than on wash agitation, the exact cause was not confirmed.
- What fixed it
- Recommended checks were to observe exactly when in the rinse sequence the noise occurs, disconnect the machine from the mains, remove the lid, and manually move the outer drum forwards, backwards, up and down, and side to side to check suspension or chassis movement. No completed repair or confirmed fix was posted.
- Checks to try
- Observed that the noise happened during rinsing the clothes
- Confirmed no similar noise on the wash agitation cycle
- Confirmed spinning was normal
- Advised to identify whether the noise occurs during draining or during rinse movement
- Advised to disconnect from the mains and move the outer drum forward/backward, up/down and side to side to check suspension or chassis
Safety: Disconnect the washing machine from the mains before removing the lid. Further diagnosis should be carried out by a suitably qualified appliance engineer.

Normally a noise that happens on the rinse cycle is caused by something rattling around inside the drain pump. Does the noise happen when the washing machine is draining the water, or does it happen while it is actually rinsing the laundry? However, the way you describe the sound, it doesn't sound like the classic something rattling around the pump noise. If you don't think it is something to do with the pump the first thing to do is to disconnect the washing machine from the mains, and then take off the lid and start moving the main outer drum around.
Push it forward and backwards, up-and-down, side to side. This will check if there is anything wrong with the suspension or the chassis. After that, the only thing that could be done is to listen to the sound with the back panel and lid off, which is obviously not recommended unless you know exactly what you are doing, and never leave a washing machine unattended in that state in case someone touches something inside. Only by observing the noise and locating it with your ears can you find out what is causing the noise. I have an article with tips and advice about how to troubleshoot a noisy washing machine

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, it happens whilst it is actually rinsing the clothes, yet doesn’t on the actual wash agitation
I will get my husband to have a closer look via your instructions
You need to observe when on the rinsing it makes the noise. That is, does it make it when it is just gently rinsing the laundry rocking it back-and-forth. Or does it make the noise when it is draining out the water ready to take in more rinse water. If it is the latter the suspect is something rattling about in the pump.

Hello. Read the advice already given above, it should be relevant. Unusual noise when draining water is a pump fault or something stuck inside the pump and moving about.
