How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before tipping or adjusting. Do not place hands under a rocking machine.
- Check transit bolts: Ensure all shipping bolts at the rear have been removed according to the installation manual.
- Level the machine: Use a spirit level and adjust the front and rear feet so the washer-dryer is stable and does not rock.
- Inspect shocks: Remove the rear or side panel and examine the shock absorbers for oil leakage or detachment. Replace in pairs if worn.
- Check springs: Inspect the top suspension springs for stretching or breakage. Replace if damaged.
- Load distribution: Advise users to avoid single heavy items and to balance loads to reduce unbalance.
