Washing Machine Installation

Squeaking from your washing machine may indicate an easily resolved problem, such as something caught inside or a dirty valve screen. Or it could be a warning that your machine needs repair. If the machine is in good condition, a squeaking noise can often be repaired without a call to a technician.

New Machine

If your washing machine is new, the squeaking sound may be normal. Some manufacturers recommend that you allow your machine to work through an initial “break-in” period of about five complete wash cycles. The squeak should disappear on its own during this period. If the squeak develops in an older model, however, it may mean that a part is worn or broken.
