Possible Causes
Shipping bolts not removed, worn or broken shock absorbers, weakened suspension springs, machine not level, very small or heavy unbalanced load
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before tilting or moving the appliance.
Stability checks:
- Shipping bolts: Ensure all transport bolts at the rear have been removed according to the installation manual.
- Leveling: Adjust the front and rear feet so the machine is level and stable. Lock the feet with the locknuts.
- Load distribution: Avoid single heavy items (e.g., one bath mat). Add more laundry to balance or redistribute items manually.
- Suspension: If vibration persists, inspect shock absorbers and springs for leaks or damage and replace in pairs if worn.
