Possible Causes
Dryer not leveled, Worn drum rollers, Weak or missing leveling legs, Heavy items tumbling unevenly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the dryer before adjusting legs or moving the appliance.
- Level the dryer: Place a level on top of the dryer. Adjust the leveling legs so the dryer is stable and does not rock.
- Check floor: Ensure the floor is solid and not flexing. Avoid placing the dryer on soft surfaces.
- Inspect drum supports: If vibration is accompanied by noise, inspect drum rollers and idler pulley for wear and replace as needed.
- Load balance: Avoid drying a single heavy item (e.g., large blanket) alone. Add a few smaller items to balance the load.
