How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or adjusting feet.
- 1. Check installation: Confirm all shipping bolts or transit braces have been removed per the installation manual.
- 2. Level the unit: Adjust the leveling feet so the combo is solid and does not rock. Lock the feet in place.
- 3. Load distribution: Avoid washing single heavy items. Redistribute loads to balance weight.
- 4. Inspect suspension: Access the tub supports and check springs, rods, and shocks for wear or disconnection. Replace worn components as a set for best results.
- 5. Test spin: Run an empty high-speed spin to verify reduced vibration.
