Beko Washer Dryer: banging during spin cycle
What is this symptom?
If your Beko washer dryer is making loud banging, thumping, or clunking noises during the spin cycle, it may be shaking or moving excessively. This can be caused by unbalanced loads, worn shock absorbers, or even foreign objects inside the drum. Addressing these issues promptly can help prevent further damage and ensure smooth operation.
Important Tips for Beko Models
- Always remove transport bolts and packaging material after installation; Beko guidance emphasizes proper initial setup.
Possible Causes

Worn or damaged shock absorbers/suspension
How to Identify: Persistent heavy banging even after load adjustments and leveling; often felt as thumping from underside
Part: Shock absorbers / Suspension rods
Foreign object inside drum or under tub
How to Identify: Banging may sound metallic or irregular; sometimes objects like coins/pins cause impacts inside drum
Part: Drum interior / Tub area
Worn drum bearings
How to Identify: Loud clunking/grinding throughout spin cycle; noise persists irrespective of load distribution
Part: Drum bearings
