Noisy Washing machine when loaded
My washing machine is 9 months old, since new it has been very noisey on a spin, this seems to be the drum moving excessively. I have had repair man out and they have replaced the struts but it still has the same noise. On an empty spin in does not make th noise, so not the bearings. Some loads are louder than others. What should I check??

Washing machine noisy on spin when loaded
- The problem
- A 9-month-old washing machine has been very noisy on spin since new. The noise appears only with laundry in the drum, with excessive drum movement reported. An empty spin does not produce the noise. Struts were replaced by a repair visit, but the symptom remained.
- Likely cause
- No single fault was confirmed. The accepted reply says noisy washing machines can have many causes. The most strongly supported possibility mentioned was incorrect levelling, but the exact cause was not established.
- What fixed it
- Check that the machine is properly level front to back and side to side. If the noise continues, the accepted advice was that someone needs to hear the machine in person and locate the source of the noise. The exact repair was not confirmed in the discussion.
- Checks to try
