How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the dryer before adjusting or inspecting internal parts.

  • Level the dryer: Adjust the leveling feet so the dryer is stable and does not rock. Use a bubble level on top.
  • Check installation: Ensure the dryer is not touching walls or cabinets that can amplify vibration.
  • Inspect rollers: If vibration persists, inspect drum rollers for wear and replace if necessary.
  • Remove foreign objects: Check drum baffles for trapped items causing imbalance.
