[RFI] Whirlpool Washer noise

[EDWARDS, EDDIE J]

Mike, 

My LG WaveForce washer with Inverter direct-drive does something similar with the tub movement during wash cycle, but it's not as strong as your RFI is.  I only noticed it when I moved my roof antenna closer to the washer while getting roof shingles replaced. But it's so weak it's not an issue 

As Don recommended check out K9YC.com for articles on using ferrites for RFI reduction.  If it's radiating that far away, it's probably getting on your AC wiring whose length somewhere is resonant.  I once found RFI from a touch lamp that I eliminated from a neighbor's house a block away by unplugging an unused extension cord in their garage.  So wiring resonance is something to think about, and it's in your own house making it easier to find and resolve if that's a part of the problem. 

Also, RFI from washing machines has been discussed in the past, so check out the archives here:

Whirlpool Cabrio Platinum washer

I just noticed that our washer is producing broadband noise about every 15kc.  I pulses with the tub movement.  I am seeing it on every band. Even on my 80 vertical about 100 ft away.

Has anyone else seen this and is there fix?
