Possible Causes

Worn shock absorbers, Broken or stretched tub suspension springs, Loose concrete counterweights, Shipping bolts not removed on new installation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting internal suspension. Do not place hands near a moving drum.

  • 1. Check installation: Confirm that all shipping bolts have been removed from the rear of a newly installed Casarte washer.
  • 2. Level the washer: Adjust the leveling feet so the washer is stable and does not rock.
  • 3. Inspect shocks and springs: Remove the rear or front panel. Check shock absorbers for oil leakage, broken mounts, or excessive play. Inspect tub suspension springs at the top for stretching or breakage. Replace worn components.
  • 4. Check counterweights: Inspect the concrete or composite counterweights on the tub for cracks or loose bolts. Tighten or replace as needed.
