Possible Causes

Dryer not level on the floor, Worn or missing leveling feet, Drum out of balance due to load, Internal suspension or support wear

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before tilting or moving the dryer. Use proper lifting techniques.

  • Level the dryer: Place a spirit level on top of the dryer. Adjust the leveling feet until the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Lock the feet if possible.
  • Check floor stability: Ensure the dryer is on a solid, non-flexing surface. Avoid placing it on thick carpets.
  • Load distribution: Avoid drying single heavy items alone. Mix smaller items with large ones to balance the drum.
  • Inspect internal supports: If vibration persists, inspect drum supports, rollers, and mounting brackets for wear or looseness. Tighten or replace as needed.
