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.
