How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before tipping or moving it.

  • Balance the load: Stop the cycle, redistribute laundry evenly, and avoid mixing heavy items with very light ones.
  • Level the machine: Adjust the front and rear feet so the Grundig washer-dryer is stable and does not rock. Tighten lock nuts.
  • Inspect shocks and springs: Remove side or rear panels and check shock absorbers for oil leakage or looseness, and springs for stretching or breakage. Replace in pairs if worn.
  • Check transit bolts: Ensure all shipping bolts were removed during installation; if left in place, they cause severe vibration.
