Possible Causes
Shipping bolts not removed, Washer not leveled, Worn shock absorbers, Uneven or weak floor surface
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
User checks:
- Remove shipping bolts: If the washer is newly installed, ensure all rear shipping bolts and transit brackets have been removed according to the Gram installation manual.
- Level the machine: Adjust the front and rear feet so the washer is level side-to-side and front-to-back. Lock the feet with the locknuts.
- Load distribution: Avoid washing single heavy items. Mix large and small items to balance the load.
If vibration continues:
- Inspect shocks and springs: Replace worn shock absorbers and any damaged suspension springs.
- Floor reinforcement: Place the washer on a solid, level surface. Avoid flexible wooden floors or add a reinforcement panel.
