Possible Causes
Shipping bolts not removed, Unit not leveled, Weak or flexible floor, Worn suspension components
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or adjusting feet.
- 1. Check shipping bolts: Ensure all rear shipping bolts and brackets used for transport have been removed according to the installation manual.
- 2. Level the unit: Adjust the leveling feet so the washer-dryer is solid and does not rock. Lock the feet in place with the jam nuts.
- 3. Reinforce flooring: If installed on a weak or suspended floor, consider adding a plywood reinforcement panel under the unit.
- 4. Inspect suspension: If vibration persists, check shocks and springs for wear and replace as needed.
