Possible Causes

Dryer not leveled, Worn or missing leveling feet, Dryer stacked incorrectly on washer, Heavy load items clumping

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting leveling feet. Use caution when moving the appliance.

  • 1. Check load: Stop the dryer and redistribute the load. Avoid drying single heavy items alone.
  • 2. Level the dryer: Place a spirit level on top of the dryer. Adjust the leveling feet until the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
  • 3. Inspect feet: Ensure all leveling feet are present and in good condition. Replace worn or missing feet.
  • 4. Stacking kit: If stacked on a Fisher & Paykel washer, verify the correct stacking kit is installed and all brackets are secure.
  • 5. Floor stability: Ensure the dryer is on a solid, stable floor. Avoid soft or uneven surfaces.
