A noisy washing machine is one of the most common appliance problems in Nepal. While some sounds are normal during operation, loud or unusual noises often indicate that something needs attention.
Ignoring these sounds can lead to bigger issues, costly repairs, and even complete machine failure.
Let’s look at the most common reasons why your washing machine is making noise and what you can do about it.

2. Machine Surface Sama Chaina
If your washing machine is placed on an uneven floor, vibrations can increase significantly.
Signs:

Over time, internal or external components can become loose.
