Why does my washing machine make noise when not in use?

I woke up this morning to a strange noise coming from my laundry room. My washer seemed to be making a noise that sounded like it was slightly running (not agitating or filling with water, just kind of humming). The noise stopped when I unplugged it. But when I tried to turn it on to run a cycle, nothing happened. None of the lights turned on or anything at all. When I plug it back in, the sound starts again after about 5 to 10 seconds.

Update (10/28/23)

The noise seems to be coming from the water drainage hose. It is like it's trying to empty water from the machine but it's not turned on.

"The noise stopped when I unplugged it. But when I tried to turn it on to run a cycle, nothing happened." >> you didn't plug it in!

"When I plug it back in, the sound starts again after about 5 to 10 seconds." >> Your water pump may be activating. If anything is activating when it is OFF, that would indicate a defective controller.

I did plug it back in when I tried to run the cycle. I didn't try to turn it on after I had unplugged it.

Thank you so much for the info about the defective controller. I will look into it. Thank you.

What is the model number of the washer?

Most Whirlpool washing machines will have a PCB schematic inside the unit for technician reference. The document should contain info telling you what pins connect to components from the controller. You can use a multimeter to determine if the water pump is activating at the wrong time.

Whirlpool has a known issue of washers making noise when off and they are fixing them for free. If you have a whirlpool…call the 800 number

Hi, just yesterday returning to our vacation home we discovered our washer making the same noise immediately after we turned the water back on after being away for 3 weeks. I too have model WTW4816FW3.

Since I couldn't make it stop by pressing buttons I simply unplugged it overnight. This morning I plugged it back in and after about 5 seconds the same buzzing noise started up. There were no control light indicators on, so I pressed the start/reset button for more than 3 seconds and the noise stopped. I'm currently running an empty load to see what happens next, and I will also be calling Whirlpool to check on a fix and/or warranty claim.

1- Unplug the washing machine for 10 seconds.

2- Plug it in and wait 10 seconds. It may make the noise again.

3- Press the start button for five seconds and the noise will go away.

4- Wait five seconds and start washing a load as normal.
