Possible Causes

Excessively unbalanced load, worn shock absorbers, faulty tachometer signal, control board unbalance algorithm fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep hands clear of moving parts.

  • Redistribute load: Pause the cycle, open the door when unlocked, and redistribute laundry evenly around the drum. Avoid single heavy items.
  • Check machine leveling: Ensure the washer is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust feet and lock nuts.
  • Inspect shock absorbers: From the rear or bottom, check the suspension dampers for oil leakage or looseness. Replace if worn.

Ongoing F27 with balanced loads: May indicate a tachometer or control board issue requiring professional diagnosis.
