Possible Causes

Dryer not level, feet not locked, very small or very heavy mixed load, worn suspension or support components

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not place hands under the dryer while it is running.

Reduce vibration:

  • Ensure the dryer is installed on a solid, level surface.
  • Adjust the leveling feet so that the dryer does not rock; lock the feet if locknuts are provided.
  • Avoid drying single heavy items (e.g., one large towel); add a few similar items to balance the load.
  • If vibration persists even when empty and level, inspect internal supports, drum bearing, and motor mounts for wear and replace as needed.
