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.
