How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing internal components. Avoid running the machine if it is violently shaking.

  • Level the appliance: Place a level on the top front and side. Adjust the leveling feet until the washer-dryer is stable and does not rock when pushed diagonally.
  • Check floor stability: Ensure the unit is on a solid, non-flexing surface. Avoid placing it on soft wood or weak platforms.
  • Inspect for shipping hardware: Verify that all Midea transit bolts and brackets have been removed from the rear panel.
  • Internal inspection (advanced): Remove the rear or front panel (depending on model) and inspect the shock absorbers and springs for oil leakage, cracks, or detachment. Tighten any loose counterweight bolts on the drum.
  • Replace worn parts: If shocks or springs are visibly worn or broken, replace them in pairs to maintain balance.
