Hi,

Just after your opinions please.

We have a candy washing machine less than 6 months old. It's making a high pitched noise when it spins, it's that high pitched it gives me a headache.

Anyway apparently this is normal!?

Can anyone confirm if this noise is normal or if there is a machine problem

Thanks in advance

Hello there. Yes I would say that is an annoying extraneous noise that shouldn't be there. I used to get noises like that on Hoover washing machine motors, which I used to fix by tightening the bolts on the motor casing. However, there probably aren't any bolts on most washing machine motors now. I would say the noise is coming from the main motor.
