Possible Causes
Dryer not level, Worn or missing leveling feet, Dryer installed on weak or uneven floor, Large unbalanced loads
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting feet.
Step-by-step checks:
- Level the dryer: Place a level on top of the dryer front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust the leveling feet until the dryer is stable and level.
- Check feet condition: Inspect the rubber pads on the feet. Replace missing or damaged feet.
- Load size: Avoid drying a single heavy item (e.g., large blanket) alone; mix with smaller items to balance the load.
- Floor reinforcement: If installed on a weak or flexing floor, consider reinforcing the floor or using an anti-vibration pad.
Note: Excessive vibration can loosen internal connections over time; correct promptly.
