# Miele it has started making a new noise

### The fastest diagnosis is the code

Note when in the cycle it happens and what it sounds like — a hum, a rattle, a rumble, a grinding. That single sentence narrows a diagnosis more than anything else you can tell us over the phone.

### A quiet machine changing its voice is data

This equipment is built to be quiet, so a new noise is a real signal rather than an annoyance to tolerate. Most of the causes are small when caught early and expensive when not — a fan, something loose in a sump, a spray arm catching, a bearing beginning.

### The sentence that shortens the call

What it sounds like and when in the cycle it happens. A hum, a rattle, a rumble or a grinding, during the wash, during the spin, or all the time. That single description narrows the diagnosis more than anything else you can tell us.

Condenser or evaporator on refrigeration, and the commonest cause of a cabinet becoming audible.

Something loose in the drum or sump

A coin, a wire, a piece of glass. Free to find and worth finding early.

Rising with the spin on a washing machine. The one that gets worse rather than staying the same.

A spray arm catching

On a dishwasher, and free to check by hand.

Nothing else has changed

What it usually means

A hum, a rattle or a grinding that was not there

Noise only during one part of the cycle

A refrigerator that has become audible from another room
