How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing panels.
- Check vertical play: Open the door and lift the drum. More than a few millimeters of movement suggests suspension or bearing issues.
- Inspect shocks and springs: Remove top and rear panels and visually inspect Fisher & Paykel shocks and springs for breakage or detachment.
- Replace worn components: Replace any broken springs and weak shocks in pairs.
- Assess bearings: If play is accompanied by grinding noise, bearing replacement or tub assembly replacement is required and is best done by a professional.
