When the washer’s water valve shuts off, it can make your home’s pipes move, creating a loud banging sound. This is called water hammer. It can be reduced by installing a water hammer arrestor. These are available at local hardware or home improvement stores. Very little water in the washer This is normal for an HE (High-Efficiency) washer. HE washers are designed to clean clothes using a minimum amount of water and energy. Because the water level is low, the detergent becomes more concentrated, which helps cleaning performance.
