Possible Causes
Dishwasher not leveled, Missing or loose mounting brackets, Uneven floor, Loose feet or pads
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before pulling the dishwasher out of the cabinet.
- 1. Check leveling: Place a level on the top edge of the door. Adjust the front leveling legs with a wrench until the unit is level side-to-side and front-to-back.
- 2. Secure mounting brackets: Open the door and check the top or side mounting brackets that secure the dishwasher to the countertop or cabinet. Tighten screws or install brackets if missing.
- 3. Inspect floor contact: Ensure all four feet are firmly contacting the floor. Adjust as needed.
- 4. Add anti-vibration pads: If the floor is uneven, consider adding thin rubber pads under the feet to improve stability.
Proper installation is critical for quiet operation; if the cabinet opening is irregular, a professional installer may be needed.
