Machine attempts to spin but stops; E08 displayed, sometimes with heavy vibration beforehand.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before internal inspection.

Step-by-step checks:

• Redistribute the load: Open the door (once unlocked) and redistribute laundry evenly around the drum. Avoid washing single heavy items (e.g., one bath mat) alone; add towels to balance.
• Check machine leveling: Ensure the washer-dryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust the feet and lock them in place.
• Inspect suspension: Remove the rear or front panel to view the drum suspension. Check shock absorbers for oil leakage, broken mounts, or excessive play. Replace worn shocks in pairs.
• Check drum springs: Inspect the top suspension springs for stretching or breakage. Replace if deformed or broken.
• Control / sensor: If mechanical components are sound and E08 persists with normal loads, the imbalance detection in the control board may be overly sensitive or faulty, requiring PCB replacement.

When to call a technician: Suspension and spring replacement can be physically demanding; consider professional service if access is difficult.
