Possible Causes

Dishwasher not leveled, Loose mounting brackets, Uneven floor, Heavy items loaded on one side

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before adjusting the appliance position.

  • Level the unit: Use a spirit level on the top edge of the door opening. Adjust the front and rear leveling feet until the dishwasher is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
  • Secure to cabinet: Check that the mounting brackets at the top or sides are firmly screwed into the countertop or cabinet.
  • Balance the load: Avoid placing all heavy items on one side of the lower rack.

Proper leveling and securing usually resolve vibration. If not, a technician can check for internal suspension or tub support issues.
