How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep clear of the machine while it is violently shaking. Unplug before internal inspection.

  • Rebalance load: Pause the cycle, redistribute clothes evenly, and avoid single heavy items.
  • Check leveling: Adjust the leveling feet so the Hisense washer is stable and does not rock.
  • Inspect shocks and springs: Remove rear and top panels. Check shock absorbers for oil leakage or broken mounts, and springs for stretching or breakage. Replace in pairs if worn.
  • Verify counterweights: Ensure concrete weights on the tub are tight. Tighten bolts if loose.
