How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep clear of a moving machine; unplug before adjustments.
- Check transit bolts: On newly installed Bauknecht washers, ensure all rear transit bolts and spacers have been removed according to the installation manual.
- Level the machine: Adjust the front and rear feet so the washer is stable and does not rock. Tighten lock nuts.
- Inspect suspension: Remove top and rear panels to check springs and dampers. Replace any broken springs or leaking shock absorbers.
If noise persists with balanced loads: Further inspection of drum bearings and internal components is required.
