How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or moving it.
- Verify shipping bolts: Check the rear of the unit for any remaining shipping bolts or brackets and remove them per the installation manual.
- Level the appliance: Use a level to adjust the front and rear feet so the combo is stable and does not rock.
- Balance loads: Avoid washing single heavy items (like a rug) alone. Redistribute laundry and run another spin.
- Inspect suspension: Remove the top and/or front panel to inspect suspension springs and shock absorbers. Replace any that are leaking, broken, or weak.
