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.
