Possible Causes

Dishwasher not leveled, Missing or loose mounting brackets, Loose feet or rollers, Pump or motor imbalance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Turn off power before adjusting the unit. Use caution when moving the dishwasher.

  • 1. Check leveling: Use a level on the front edge of the tub. Adjust the front and rear leveling legs so the unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
  • 2. Secure mounting brackets: Ensure the top or side mounting brackets are firmly attached to the countertop or cabinet.
  • 3. Inspect feet: Confirm all feet are in contact with the floor and tightened.
  • 4. Listen for internal imbalance: If vibration persists, the pump or motor assembly may be imbalanced and require replacement.

Proper installation usually resolves most vibration issues.
