Possible Causes

Load bunched to one side of drum, Single heavy item causing imbalance, Worn suspension dampers, Faulty imbalance detection via motor tachometer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Wait until the drum stops completely before opening the door.

  • Redistribute load: Open the door and manually separate and redistribute laundry evenly around the drum. Remove or add items to balance the weight.
  • Run spin-only: Select a spin-only program and check if the machine now reaches full spin speed without E17.
  • Check installation: Ensure the New World washer-dryer is level and stable on all four feet. Adjust the feet and lock nuts as needed.
  • Inspect dampers: If the machine frequently fails to spin with balanced loads, inspect the suspension dampers and springs for leakage or wear. Replace worn dampers to restore proper vibration control.
