Possible Causes

Appliance not leveled, Worn suspension dampers, Uneven or weak floor, Overloaded or unbalanced loads

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep children and pets away from the vibrating appliance. Unplug before adjusting feet.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Level the machine: Adjust the front and rear leveling feet so the washer-dryer is stable and does not rock. Use a spirit level.
  • 2. Check floor strength: Ensure the floor is solid and not flexing. Avoid placing the machine on loose boards or thick carpets.
  • 3. Load distribution: Avoid washing single heavy items alone. Mix large and small items to balance the load.
  • 4. Inspect suspension: If vibration persists, inspect and replace worn suspension dampers as needed.
