[LG front load washer noise] The washing machine makes a squeaking noise when it stops

Causes and Symptoms

• The washer stops during spin cycle with a screeching noise.
• High-pitched (squeal) noise occurs during the spin cycle.

Try this.

Screeching Noise

This noise may occur temporarily when the spin cycle ends due to severe imbalance in laundry.
The washer uses reverse current in the motor to stop the drum at the end of the spin cycle, which can cause noise if the laundry is unbalanced.

High-Pitched Squeal

→ A high-pitched squeal may occur as the washing motor rotates the drum.

This noise is generated due to the high rotational speed of the washing motor. While it might be bothersome to some, it does not indicate a malfunction.
If the noise persists for a long time or causes discomfort, professional service inspection is recommended. Try running a spin cycle without laundry and if loud roaring or grinding noises continue, please request a service check (LG Support Center: 1-800-XXX-XXXX).
