Dryer not level, Worn or missing leveling feet, Weak floor structure, Large heavy items tumbling alone
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting feet.
Level and stabilize:
- Place a level on top of the dryer front-to-back and side-to-side.
- Adjust the leveling feet until the dryer is solid and level; lock the jam nuts if present.
- Ensure all four feet are firmly on the floor.
- If the floor is weak or flexing, consider adding a support platform or relocating the dryer.
- Advise users to dry mixed loads (large and small items together) to reduce imbalance.
