Possible Causes

Coins or small objects trapped between drum and tub, underwire from bras, debris in drain pump, loose items in door boot

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before reaching into the drum or pump area.

  • Inspect drum and boot: Check the door boot folds and drum holes for trapped objects. Remove any visible items.
  • Check pump filter: Access and clean the drain pump filter, removing coins, buttons, and other debris.
  • Listen for persistent noise: If noise continues, an object may be lodged between the inner drum and outer tub, often requiring tub disassembly to remove.

When to call a technician: If you suspect an object between drum and tub, professional service is recommended to avoid damaging the tub or seal.
