Possible Causes

Shipping bolts not removed (front-load), Washer not leveled, Weak or damaged floor, Worn suspension components

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Stop the washer and unplug it before adjusting.

  • Check shipping bolts: For new GE front-load washers, ensure all rear shipping bolts and spacers have been removed per installation instructions.
  • Level the washer: Adjust all four leveling feet so the washer is stable and does not rock. Lock the nuts.
  • Reinforce floor: Place the washer on a solid, level surface. Avoid weak platforms.
  • Inspect suspension: Replace worn shocks or suspension rods if vibration persists.
