Possible Causes

Unit not leveled, Feet not locked, Worn suspension rods/dampers, Weak or flexible floor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not attempt to hold the unit in place while it is spinning. Allow it to stop completely before adjustments.

Steps to reduce vibration:

  • Level the unit: Use a bubble level on top of the washer-dryer. Adjust the leveling feet until the unit is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Tighten lock nuts.
  • Check floor strength: Ensure the unit is installed on a solid, rigid floor. Reinforce or relocate if the floor is too flexible.
  • Inspect suspension: Remove the top panel and inspect suspension rods/dampers for leaks or weakness. Replace as a set if worn.
  • Load distribution: Avoid washing heavy items alone and distribute laundry evenly.

Proper leveling and suspension condition are critical for quiet, stable operation.
