Direct-drive noise needs context
A noise during slow tumbling is not the same as a knock during high-speed spin. Record when it begins, whether the empty drum feels smooth by hand and whether the cabinet moves across the floor.

A noise during slow tumbling is not the same as a knock during high-speed spin. Record when it begins, whether the empty drum feels smooth by hand and whether the cabinet moves across the floor.
Report whether the pump can be heard, whether the tub is completely full and whether the issue follows every cycle. This separates drainage-path checks from control or sensing possibilities.
On an LG washer-dryer, identify the wash and dry programme, load size and whether clothes are warm, damp or completely cold at the end. Combined machines need intake details that a washer-only booking does not.
AI DD and ThinQ are model-dependent features, not descriptions of every LG washer. The rating label and the appliance type determine whether connected diagnostics, drying components or a direct-drive arrangement are relevant to the reported symptom.
Check around the door opening on a front-loader and the rear or side cabinet on other configurations for the model/serial label. A photo of the installation is especially useful where a top-loader lid, utility shelf or stacked dryer limits access.
A clear, single fault on a well-supported machine may be worth repairing, particularly when the drum, cabinet and bearings test well. A combined washer-dryer with multiple wash and drying defects, major mechanical wear or repeated control problems needs a broader cost comparison.
A quote is explained before chargeable work is approved; parts compatibility and access must be confirmed for the specific appliance.
Do not run repeated spin tests when the drum is striking the cabinet, and isolate water if a leak continues. The general laundry guide provides safe user checks without assuming that controls are identical across LG ranges.
Read the general safety and booking guidance →Share the label photograph, symptom notes, installation view and your Dubai area. Appointment options depend on technician availability, safe access and the appliance details supplied.
It helps describe the event but cannot confirm the failed item. The exact model, physical symptoms and electrical or mechanical tests still determine the repair route.
Load balance, water conditions, programme logic and a developing fault can all extend a cycle. Note the original programme time and what the machine is doing when the estimate changes.
Send a level photo of the installation, a short spin video and the typical load. Transport bolts, flooring, feet, load distribution and internal wear require different remedies.
