Possible Causes
Dryer not level on floor, Missing or damaged feet, Loose drum support components, Heavy items clumping inside drum
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting feet or inspecting internal parts.
Steps to check:
- Level the dryer: Use a spirit level and adjust the front and rear feet so the dryer is stable and does not rock.
- Check feet condition: Replace any missing or damaged rubber feet.
- Load distribution: Avoid drying single heavy items. Mix large and small items to balance the load.
- Inspect internal supports: If vibration persists, check drum supports, bearings, and mounting bolts for looseness.
