Use A level to check that the washing machine is resting smoothly, with all four support feet touching the floor at the same time. If the ground is uneven, you can adjust the height of the mat or install a non-slip pad to calibrate, ensure that the washing machine is stable when running, reduce the noise caused by shaking.
2. reserve space
Give it plenty of breathing roomー keep at least 10 centimeters away from walls and cabinets. This arrangement prevents the washing machine from making extra noise by resonating with the objects around it, allowing it to breathe freely and work quietly.
3. clear the top
Make sure the top of the washing machine is clean. These seemingly harmless objects can act as noise amplifiers while the machine is running, making small sounds harsh. Keeping the top clean is another great way to cut down on noise.

In the belly of a washing machine, there may be a culprit that causes noise. Open the door, a careful investigation, so that there is no escape.
1. foreign Body Detection
Coins, hairpins, buttons and other small objects, if stuck between the inner and outer cylinder, when running will issue a harsh impact sound. Regular inspection and cleaning up these foreign bodies is an effective means of reducing noise.
2. inspection of core components
①. Bearing:
If you hear"Squeaky" metal friction sound, may be bearing aging or insufficient lubrication. Bearing is the"Joint" of washing machine, easy to wear after long-term use, need to be replaced in time.
②. Belt
Loose Belt may be accompanied by the sound of slipping. Adjust the belt tightness or replace the new belt, can make the washing machine run more smoothly.

Follow the principle of proper loading to avoid overloading or underloading. Overload will increase the burden on the machine, resulting in unstable operation; too little load may make clothing in the inner cylinder uneven distribution, resulting in noise.
2. distribute clothing evenly
Place clothing loosely into the inner cylinder to ensure that it is evenly distributed. If clothes are not evenly distributed, the machine can be stopped before dehydration, manually adjust the position of clothes, so that they re-position, reduce the operation of the vibration and noise.
(4)、Check the problem of water intake
The problem of water link, also may become the source of washing machine noise. Water valve blockage or water pressure is not stable, will lead to water when the noise.
1. clean the strainer
Clean the inlet valve filter regularly to ensure the smooth flow of water. Clogged screens can limit the speed of water flow, causing a"Hum" or noise when the water enters.
2. stable Water Pressure
If the water pressure is not stable, can consider the installation of booster pump to stabilize the water pressure. Stable water pressure can make the washing machine in the water more quiet, enjoy quiet time.

Conclusion
Washing machine noise big this trouble, seemingly intractable, in fact, as long as we master the correct method, it can be easily resolved. From carefully adjusting the installation, to meticulously checking the internal parts; from the reasonable control of clothing loading, to properly handle the problem of water, every step contains the wisdom to restore the quiet of the home. When we take care of home appliances, with scientific knowledge to solve the problem, you can make the washing machine back to become the right-hand man of silent dedication.
