Possible Causes

Dryer not level, Worn or missing leveling feet, Uneven floor, Large heavy items tumbling unevenly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the dryer before adjusting feet or moving the unit.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Level the dryer: Place a level on top of the dryer front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust the leveling feet until the dryer is stable and level.
  • Check feet condition: Inspect the rubber pads on the feet. Replace missing or damaged feet.
  • Load balance: Avoid drying a single heavy item. Mix large and small items to balance the load.
  • Floor stability: If the floor is weak or flexes, consider reinforcing it or using an anti-vibration pad under the dryer.

When to call a technician: If vibration persists and internal components (drum, motor mounts) appear loose, have a technician inspect the dryer.
