Clicking or Clacking - Noise

Possible Solutions

Typically, a clicking or clacking noise occurs only at the start of a cycle. It is most likely the sound of the lid locking.

If you hear a clicking sound during the cycle, check the following:

Loose items on top of the washer. Items such as change, detergent, or other items could vibrate and make a clicking sound, so remove necessary items.
Drain the hose and water inlet hoses. If the hoses are resting against the back of the cabinet, a noise might be heard. Secure the hoses using the beaded strap supplied with the washer (on some models), or use a wire tie. The vibration of the washer can be carried through to the hoses. Also, as water is pushed through the hoses, it can cause the hoses to move. A knocking noise will be heard if the hoses have enough space to hit the cabinet.
Is anything leaning against the washer? Brooms, dustpans, dryer racks, or hangers can make a clicking noise if leaning against the washer, especially during high spin speeds. Always check the outside of your washer before using it for items that may cause noise.
