How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before internal inspection. Do not continue running the machine if it is violently shaking.

  • Balance the load: Stop the cycle, redistribute laundry evenly, and avoid overloading. Run a spin-only cycle to test.
  • Check levelling: Ensure the Belling washer-dryer is level and all feet are firmly on the floor. Adjust and lock the feet.
  • Inspect dampers: Access the underside or rear to inspect suspension dampers. Replace if they are leaking oil or offer little resistance.
  • Counterweights: Check that concrete weights on the tub are secure. Tighten any loose bolts.
  • Bearings: If a deep rumbling noise is present even when turning the drum by hand, the tub bearings may be worn and require replacement (major repair).
