Excessive vibration and noise during the spin cycle are common washing machine malfunctions, usually related to the machine's balance, shock absorption system, or base installation. To address this issue, it is recommended to check and troubleshoot the following four aspects:
1. Check the washing machine's level
This is the most direct cause of vibration during the spin cycle.
Method: Use a spirit level to measure the levelness of the four corners of the washing machine. If the machine is tilted, adjust the leveling feet at the bottom.
Balance adjustment: Leveling feet are usually divided into threaded feet (rotatable) and spring feet (elastic). By rotating the threaded feet clockwise or counterclockwise, or adjusting the height of the spring feet, ensure that the four corners are at the same height.
Anti-slip measures: If the ground is slippery, place anti-slip pads under the machine to increase friction and reduce sliding during high-speed spinning.
2. Rebalance the laundry load
The washing machine's shock absorption system is designed to balance the load.
Unbalanced load: If only one large item of clothing (such as a towel or jeans) or severely tangled clothes are in the washing machine, the centrifugal force can cause the machine to shake violently.
Redistribution: Open the washing machine lid and redistribute the clothes evenly, ensuring that the clothes are evenly distributed in the inner drum.
Limit the load: Avoid putting in more clothes than the rated weight at one time, and follow the principle of "wash half, spin half" to keep the machine running smoothly.
3. Check the shock absorption system (shock absorbers)
Shock absorbers are key components that absorb the impact force during the spin cycle.
Aging problem: After long-term use, the elastic rubber of the shock absorbers may age and fail, resulting in the inability to effectively absorb vibrations.
Inspection method: First, unplug the power cord and tilt the machine to observe if there is any abnormal shaking of the base. If the base shakes or feels loose, the shock absorbers may be damaged.
Maintenance suggestion: If the shock absorbers are confirmed to be faulty, it is recommended to contact a professional repair person for replacement. For manufacturers like Cixi City Yongda Electronics Co., Ltd., which have a complete industrial chain, original factory shock absorbers can usually be replaced quickly.
4. Check the fastening of the inner and outer drums
The inner and outer drums are usually connected by spring shock absorber mounts. Tightening Screws: If the screws between the inner drum and the shock absorber base are loose, a loud "banging" sound will be produced during the spin cycle.
Inspection Method: After ensuring the machine is powered off, remove the bottom cover to check if the fixing screws between the inner drum and the shock absorber base are tightened.
Special Circumstance: For drum washing machines, if the inner drum is severely worn (showing dents), it can also lead to uneven spinning and thus generate noise.
