Whirlpool Washing Machine Noise or Vibration

Check level installation and load balance. Loud banging or grinding should be investigated rather than repeatedly running the washer.

What you can safely check

Check level installation and load balance. Loud banging or grinding should be investigated rather than repeatedly running the washer.

Model-specific note: Error-code meanings can differ by model, region and machine type. Confirm the code in the manufacturer manual before ordering parts or assuming a component has failed.

When to request a technician

Request an inspection if basic checks do not resolve the issue, the code returns, the machine trips power, leaks internally, or the drum will not turn. A displayed code identifies a condition; it does not by itself prove which part has failed.
