Possible Causes
Dryer not level, Worn or missing leveling feet, Heavy load bunched on one side, Loose blower wheel or drum components
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the dryer before adjusting feet or accessing internal parts.
- Step 1 – Level the dryer: Place a level on top of the dryer. Adjust the leveling feet so the dryer is level front‑to‑back and side‑to‑side. Tighten lock nuts.
- Step 2 – Check load size and distribution: Avoid very small or very large single‑item loads. Redistribute items evenly in the drum.
- Step 3 – Inspect feet: Ensure all four leveling feet are present and in good condition. Replace missing or damaged feet.
- Step 4 – Check internal components: If vibration persists, inspect the blower wheel, drum rollers, and motor mounts for looseness or damage and repair as needed.
