An ARDO washing machine making loud noise usually has a problem that becomes most noticeable during the spin cycle. First, check whether the shipping bolts and rear foam block were removed. If they remain installed, the tub cannot move correctly and the washer may be noisy or unstable. Next, inspect the tub bearing, which supports the inner tub and allows it to spin smoothly. A worn tub bearing can cause a grinding noise, rumbling, or a washer loud when spinning. If you also see water leaking from the bottom of the tub, the tub seal and bearing kit may be defective. The rear drum with bearing or a separate ARDO washing machine bearing can also create a noisy washing machine and may require replacing the outer drum and bearing assembly. An improperly balanced load can cause banging or vibration, especially when washing too few items or mixing heavy and light clothing. Before ordering a bearing, rear drum, seal, or other replacement part, enter your model number to find the exact part for your specific ARDO washing machine.
01 - Shipping bolts have not been removed
Shipping bolts and a foam block are often used when transporting new washing machines to prevent the tub from moving and becoming damaged. Confirm the bolts (located at the rear of the washer) and the foam block have been removed before operating the appliance.

02 - ARDO Washing Machine Bearing
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing.

03 - ARDO Washing Machine Tub Seal and Bearing Kit
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the washer is noisy during the spin cycle or is leaking from the bottom of the tub near the transmission, the tub seal and bearing are likely defective. Replacing the tub bearing is a very involved repair and will require disassembling most of the washer. If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing the outer tub and bearing at the same time.
The tub bearing is mounted in the middle of the outer tub. The tub bearing helps to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly.

If the tub bearing is defective, we recommend replacing both the outer tub and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together.
The rear drum has a bearing or bearings in it to keep the inner tub spinning smoothly. If the tub bearing system is defective the washer can become very noisy. On some machines bearings are sold separately from the rear drum, however we recommend replacing both the outer drum and bearing as an assembly if the manufacturer offers the components together because removing and pressing in the new bearing can be exceptionally difficult.
Be aware that replacing the outer tub and bearing is also not easy and can be very costly.
If there are light and heavy items in the same load, or too few items, the tub can spin out of balance. Wash items with aproximately the same weight together, and consider adding items if necessary, to better balance the load.
Highly Likely
07 - Washer not level
