Possible Causes

Shipping bolts not removed, Washer not leveled, Weak or damaged floor, Worn shock absorbers

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before adjusting feet or tipping the unit.

  • Check shipping bolts: Ensure all transport bolts at the rear have been removed according to the Bosch installation instructions.
  • Level the washer: Adjust the front and rear feet so the machine is stable and does not rock. Use a spirit level.
  • Stabilize floor: Place the washer on a solid, level surface. Avoid weak wooden floors or loose tiles.
  • Inspect shocks: If vibration persists, check and replace worn Bosch shock absorbers.
