Possible Causes

Machine not level, Loose mounting feet, Uneven floor, Pump or motor imbalance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the machine’s position.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Level the machine: Use a spirit level on the tank rim. Adjust the leveling feet until the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
  • Tighten feet and anchors: Ensure all adjustable feet are firmly in contact with the floor and locknuts are tight. If the unit is floor-anchored, verify anchors are secure.
  • Check for loose components: Inspect internal brackets, pump mounts, and panels for looseness and tighten as needed.
  • Observe operation: Run a cycle and watch for excessive movement. If vibration persists, the pump or motor may be imbalanced and require replacement.

When to call a technician: Persistent vibration after leveling may indicate internal mechanical issues best handled by a technician.
