Possible Causes

Excessively unbalanced load, Faulty out-of-balance switch or sensor, Worn suspension rods or springs, Loose tub mounting hardware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing internal components. Do not bypass safety switches.

  • 1. Redistribute load: Open the door when safe, redistribute clothes evenly around the drum, and remove heavy single items (e.g., a single blanket). Restart spin.
  • 2. Check leveling: Ensure the combo is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust leveling feet and lock them in place.
  • 3. Inspect suspension: Access the tub area from the top or front. Check suspension rods, springs, and dampers for wear, oil leakage, or disconnection. Replace worn components.
  • 4. Out-of-balance switch/sensor: Locate the OOB switch or sensor (often near the tub or frame). Verify it is securely mounted and wiring is intact.
  • 5. Tighten hardware: Check tub mounting bolts and counterweights for looseness. Tighten to spec.
  • 6. Test spin: After corrections, run an empty spin cycle to confirm the machine reaches full speed without excessive vibration or errors.
