It’s possible that the load in the machine is too heavy. There are a number of practical reasons that such a sound could be happening though. It can be both frustrating and stressful when your machine starts to make strange sounds, but especially when it’s a loud banging! So, what could be causing it?īanging sounds can start to emanate from your washing machine whether your machine is new or old, but it is more likely to start happening in slightly older machines. To do that please see another eSpares video on how to replace the drum bearings in your washing machine.Washing machines can be very complicated contraptions and we rely heavily on them for our household chores. If you've looked at all the techniques in this video, and you still can't find the offending item, it may well be that we have to dismantle the drum itself. *This last technique is not always possible to do - it would depend on your make and model. Our final tip for trying to find unwanted objects is to remove the drum paddle from inside the drum, and you will be able to access underneath the drum. And then if you see an object, you could push it through and access it via the sump opening. You can also tilt the machine back upright and use a torch to shine through the perforations. The last thing to do now is to loosen the clip, and you can ease the hose off - giving you access to see into the tub.

If you remove the base cover, you will be able to see the sump hose. For doing this it's better if you put the machine on to its side - so you can access the sump hose safely.

Removing the sump hose…gain access to the sump hose from the bottom of the machine. When putting the heater back in, make sure that you push it in firmly and that it engages with the bracket. If there is nothing there try turning the drum, it is worth using a torch to have a good look inside the heater housing - as something might have got inside there. Removing the heater…you need to remove the back panel from the machine, and when you then take the heater out you might be able to see the object stuck in it. To access under the drum you're going to have to remove either the heater or the sump hose to try to find the item. Have You Searched For The Item - But Had No Luck Finding It?ĭon’t worry, all is not lost just yet - because an object might have worked its way underneath the drum.
