Signs Your Washing Machine Clutch Needs Replacement

If you flip on your washing machine and you hear unusual noises, it could indicate that your washing machine clutch requires replacement.

A busted clutch may not spin the clothes at all, and the machine’s lid doesn’t open if the brake or lid switch is broken. If your clothes aren’t drying like they used to, your washing machine should be inspected.

Unusual Shaking

If your washing machine is shaking or vibrating abnormally, checks says it could be an indication the clutch has a problem. A worn-out clutch also can cause the machine to shake a lot, which can be loud and dangerous. If you begin to see a lot of shaking, schedule an appointment to have someone replace your washing machine clutch before it’s too late.

Burning Smell

This odor can indicate that the clutch is too hot, and is not good news. If you smell a burning odor, turn it off immediately and have a professional inspect it. The clutch can be replaced, a step that can reduce further damage and help keep your home safe.
