Certified technicians · Same-day service · 24/7 across Sharjah, with genuine parts and up to 90 days warranty.
If your washing machine has started making a loud rumbling, grinding or banging noise — especially on the spin cycle — worn drum bearings are the most likely cause. It usually begins as a faint rumble and grows louder over the weeks until the machine sounds like it is about to take off. Left too long, it can damage the drum and other parts, turning an affordable repair into a costly one. Al Tareeq Home Appliance Repair Services provides expert washing machine drum and bearing repair across Sharjah, with certified technicians who diagnose the noise correctly and fix it, same day where possible, with genuine parts and a warranty.
From our workshop in Muwaileh Commercial we reach every area quickly. A noisy machine is not something to ignore or live with — catching it early keeps the repair simpler and cheaper, and we will always give you honest advice on whether it is worth doing.
The spin cycle turns the drum at high speed, and that puts a lot of load on the bearings that let it spin smoothly and the shock absorbers that keep it steady. Over years of use these parts wear, and once the bearings start to go, the drum wobbles and grinds — the classic loud spin. Other noises have other causes: a knocking or clunking can be worn shock absorbers or suspension, a rattling can be a foreign object caught in the drum or pump, and a squeal can be a worn belt. Our first job is to identify exactly which it is, because the fix — and the cost — is very different for each.
A growing rumble is a warning worth heeding. As the bearings deteriorate, the drum moves out of true and starts to wear other parts — the seals, the drum itself and the outer tub. What begins as a bearing replacement can, if left, turn into a much larger and more expensive job, and eventually a machine that is no longer economical to repair. Catching the noise early, while it is still just the bearings, keeps the repair as straightforward and affordable as possible. It also spares you the alarming racket of a machine on its last legs shaking across the floor.
Simple and transparent, from the first call to the final test:
Bearing replacement is a more involved job than a filter or hose fix, because the drum has to be dismantled to reach them — so it is worth an honest look at the machine’s age and value. On a good-quality or newer machine, replacing the bearings is well worth it and gives you many more years of quiet service. On a very old or basic machine where the bearings have already caused wider damage, a replacement machine may be the better spend. We give you a clear diagnosis and quote so you can decide, and we never push the more expensive option — the choice stays yours.
The cost depends on the noise’s cause. A caught object, a levelling adjustment or a belt is quick and inexpensive; shock absorbers are a modest job; drum bearings are a larger repair because of the labour to reach them, plus the parts. The brand and the design of the machine (some are easier to dismantle than others) also affect the figure. We diagnose first and quote upfront, so you know the price and the recommendation before any work begins — and only ever pay for what is genuinely needed.
A few habits reduce wear on the drum and bearings. Avoid overloading, which strains the bearings and throws the drum off balance, and try to balance heavy items rather than washing a single towel or rug alone. Make sure the machine is standing level and firm on the floor, as a rocking machine vibrates and wears faster. Check pockets so coins and clips do not end up rattling in the drum or pump. And act on new noises early — a quick check when a rumble first appears is far cheaper than a major repair once the bearings have failed completely.
Every job is quoted upfront after a quick diagnosis. As a guide:
| Service | Cost Guide |
|---|---|

| Foreign object removal / levelling | On request |
| Drive belt replacement | Quoted before work |

You always know the price before we begin, and the call-out charge is adjusted against the repair when you proceed — so you only pay for approved work.

My machine is very loud on spin — is it the bearings?
A loud rumble or grinding on spin is the classic sign of worn drum bearings. We confirm it by diagnosis, as other parts can make noise too.
Is it safe to keep using a noisy machine?
It’s best not to. Worn bearings gradually damage other parts, turning an affordable repair into a costly one, so it’s worth checking early.
Are drum bearings worth replacing?
On a good or newer machine, yes — it gives years more quiet service. On a very old machine we’ll advise honestly if replacement is smarter.
What makes a banging or knocking noise?
Usually worn shock absorbers or suspension, or an unbalanced load. We diagnose which and fix it.
Could the noise just be a coin in the drum?
Sometimes, yes — a rattling is often a trapped object in the drum or pump, which is a quick, cheap fix. We always check the simple causes first.
Can you repair it the same day?
Diagnosis and many noise repairs are same-day; bearing jobs can take longer as the drum must be dismantled. We’ll tell you upfront.
Which brands do you repair?
All the major ones — Samsung, LG, Bosch, Siemens, Whirlpool and more — using genuine or OEM-grade parts.
Do you cover nights and weekends?
Yes. Our 24/7 service runs across Sharjah every day of the year.
How long do washing machine bearings usually last?
Many years with normal use, but overloading and unbalanced loads shorten their life. When they start to rumble, replacing them early keeps the repair simpler and protects the drum.
Is the repair guaranteed?
Yes — up to 90 days written warranty on parts and labour, with a return visit if a covered fault comes back.
