How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before tipping or moving the machine.

Steps:

  • Check shipping bolts: Ensure all transit bolts at the rear have been removed according to the installation manual.
  • Level the machine: Adjust the front and rear feet so the washer-dryer is stable and level in all directions.
  • Inspect dampers: Remove rear or front lower panel and check the shock absorbers. If they leak oil or move with little resistance, replace them in pairs.
  • Check springs: Inspect the top suspension springs for stretching or breakage and replace if necessary.

Tip: Avoid overloading and mix large and small items to improve balance.
