Possible Causes

Shipping bolts not removed, Machine not leveled, Worn Fisher & Paykel suspension components, Weak or flexible floor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Stop the cycle if the machine is moving significantly to prevent hose damage.

  • Check shipping bolts: Ensure all transit bolts at the rear of the machine were removed during installation. If any remain, remove them and fit the supplied plastic caps.
  • Level the unit: Adjust the leveling feet so the washer-dryer is stable. Tighten lock nuts to prevent movement.
  • Stabilize floor: Place the unit on a more rigid surface or use anti-vibration pads if the floor is very flexible.
  • Inspect suspension: If vibration persists, inspect Fisher & Paykel shock absorbers and springs for wear and replace as needed.
