When running your washing machine, you may hear several noises: the heavy vibrations of the drum, the sound of water rushing through, and a gurgling noise as it drains. Most of these sounds are normal for washing machines, but there are a few things you should check for if you hear them. Some of these sounds could mean that something has gone wrong with your machine and need to be looked at by a professional before it’s too late.
Is your LG washing machine making noise when draining? Here’s what it could be.
The Drain Pump Has a Foreign Object in It

If you hear a rattling or knocking sound coming from your LG washer when it’s draining, the first thing you should do is check the drain pump. Foreign objects like coins and buttons can get stuck in the drain pump, causing a clanking noise. Other foreign objects that may block the drain pump include pens and other items you forgot in your pockets, like receipts or other papers. The drain pump can’t get rid of all of the objects that are blocking the drain. When it drains, they cause clanking noises from your LG washer.
To remove these objects, contact an expert to come and disassemble the pump and get to the unneeded debris. They may employ the use of special tools to remove the objects. Removing these items yourself is not recommended since it may cause more damage.
A Clogged Drain Pump Filter
Another thing that can cause noise from your LG washer is a clogged drain filter. The filters infested with hair and other objects can greatly damage the pump. Usually, the filter will become clogged when the water gets too dirty.
To remove the filter, you may need to contact an expert to do it for you. They have the tools needed to remove the clog easily and without damaging your machine’s other components. They will clean the filter or replace it with a brand new one if necessary.

A Damaged Drain Pump Impeller
If your LG washer is making noise when it’s draining, there could be a problem with the drain pump impeller. This part of the pump has been known to snap off while in use. If this happens, the impeller will spin at high speeds that could cause damage to the drain pump and casing.
To replace this part, you may need to contact an expert to help you disassemble your machine and put it back together properly for a proper fit. Do not try to disassemble your washing machine by yourself if you are not an expert. It’s risky and could cause further damage to the other parts of your washer.

Unbalanced Laundry Load
One thing that can cause a loud noise from your LG washer is unbalanced laundry. An unbalanced load causes your washing machine to strain in order to move all of the different types of clothing around. This strain can make noise as it moves the clothes around.
Washing Machine Not Leveled
If your LG washer is not level, you may hear a rattling noise from the drum when it’s spinning around. This can cause vibration throughout your machine, causing it to make noise. If your washer is not leveled properly, the drum could come out of place and move around while it’s spinning, causing damage to your washing machine, which will cause noise as well.
Plenty of different things can cause your LG washer to make noise when it’s draining. You’ll need to contact an expert to fix these issues and reduce the noise. These experts will be able to come in and diagnose the problem, repair any damage, and make sure your washer works correctly again.
