Possible Causes

Dryer not level, Missing or misadjusted leveling legs, Dryer stacked improperly on washer, Worn drum support components

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before moving or lifting it.

  • Level the dryer: Place a bubble level on top of the dryer. Adjust the leveling legs so the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Lock the legs in place.
  • Check floor stability: Ensure the floor is solid and not flexing. Avoid installing on soft or uneven surfaces.
  • Verify stacking kit: If stacked on a Café washer, confirm that the official stacking kit is installed correctly and all brackets are tight.
  • Inspect internal supports: If vibration persists, inspect drum rollers, idler pulley, and drum glides for wear and replace as needed.
  • Load balance: Avoid drying a single heavy item; mix items to balance the load.
