Possible Causes
Laundry load severely unbalanced, Machine not leveled on floor, Worn Xiaomi shock absorbers, Loose or missing transit bolts not removed during installation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep hands clear of the drum while it is spinning. Unplug the unit before adjusting feet or accessing internal parts.
- 1. Pause and redistribute: Open the door when safe, separate heavy items (e.g., towels, blankets) and redistribute them evenly around the drum. Remove some items if the drum is overfilled.
- 2. Check leveling: Place a spirit level on top of the machine. Adjust the front and rear feet so the unit is stable and does not rock. Lock the feet with the jam nuts if provided.
- 3. Confirm transit bolts removed: For newly installed Xiaomi combos, ensure all rear shipping bolts and spacers have been removed according to the installation manual. Operating with transit bolts installed causes severe vibration.
- 4. Inspect shock absorbers (advanced): Remove the rear or bottom panel and visually inspect the Xiaomi suspension/shock absorbers for oil leakage, cracks, or detachment. Worn shocks should be replaced in pairs.
- 5. Test spin: Run a spin-only cycle with a moderate, balanced load. If E4 continues and the machine "walks" across the floor, professional evaluation of suspension and tub support is advised.
