How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before tipping or moving it.
- Level the machine: Adjust the front feet so the washer-dryer is stable and does not rock. Use a spirit level for accuracy.
- Check load size: Avoid single heavy items; mix large and small garments to balance the drum.
- Inspect shocks and springs (advanced): Remove the rear or side panels. Check the bottom shock absorbers for oil leakage or looseness and the top springs for stretching or breakage. Replace worn components with Gorenje-compatible suspension parts.
- Check counterweights: Ensure concrete or cast-iron weights are firmly bolted to the tub.
