Washer - Pipes Rattling or Banging

It is possible to hear a rattling or banging sound from the water pipes when a washer is filling with water. This is not an indication of a problem with the washer. This is related to the water supply provided to the appliance.

 

Understanding Pipes Rattling or Banging When a Washer Is Filling with Water

If you hear a banging or rattling noise from the inlet pipes as the washer stops filling, this is likely due to water hammer. Water hammer is a problem with the household plumbing and its water pressure. As the washer's water valve closes, the force of water in the pipes can cause the pipes to rattle. We recommend consulting a professional plumber to find the root cause of the water hammer sounds and a proper solution.
