Bosch Excessive Vibration / Suspension Wear

Washer makes loud banging or knocking noises during spin

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Unbalanced load, Worn shock absorbers, Broken suspension springs, Loose concrete counterweights

Safety first: Unplug the washer before tipping or opening panels.

Redistribute load: Stop the cycle, rearrange laundry evenly, and remove heavy single items.
Level the machine: Adjust the feet so the washer is stable and does not rock.
Inspect shocks and springs: Remove the rear or front panel and check shock absorbers for leaks or looseness and springs for stretching or breakage. Replace worn Bosch shocks and any damaged springs.
Check counterweights: Ensure concrete weights on the tub are secure and bolts are tight.
