Squealing, thumping, grinding, or rattling while the drum turns — often louder as the load gets heavier. We fix this in San Clemente — usually same-day.
LG owners in San Clemente call us for exactly this problem more than any other company in the area. From Talega and Forster Ranch to Southwest San Clemente, we're the authorized LG repair team serving the Spanish Village by the Sea.
A rhythmic thumping that speeds up with the drum. LG drum rollers wear flat over years of use — we replace them in a set.
A high-pitched squeal or rattle. The spring-loaded pulley that keeps belt tension wears out and gets loud before it fails completely.
A slapping or thumping sound each rotation once the belt frays or a chunk is missing.
A scraping or grinding noise as the drum edge drags on the front bulkhead.
A loud roar or rumble that continues even between tumbles. Caught early, it's a simple part swap.
Noises never fix themselves — a squealing idler pulley or worn roller eventually strands the belt or scores the drum, turning a small repair into a big one. We open the cabinet, inspect the whole drive system, and replace worn parts in one visit. We're in San Clemente regularly — most repairs are completed the same visit.
A squeak that follows the drum is usually worn drum rollers or the idler pulley losing tension on the belt. Both are inexpensive parts, but the cabinet has to come apart to replace them properly.
Short answer: no. A worn belt or pulley can fail mid-cycle, and metal-on-metal grinding can damage the drum itself. Getting it fixed early keeps the repair small.
