Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before any internal inspection.
Step-by-step checks:
- Redistribute the load: Open the door (once unlocked) and check if heavy items (e.g. towels, blankets) are bunched on one side. Redistribute or remove some items and run a spin-only cycle.
- Check machine leveling: Ensure the washer is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust the front feet and lock nuts so the cabinet does not rock when pushed diagonally.
- Inspect suspension: Remove the rear panel and gently push the drum down and release. It should bounce once and settle. Excessive bouncing or knocking indicates worn shock absorbers that should be replaced in pairs.
- Listen for bearing noise: Spin the drum by hand. A rough, grinding sound or excessive play suggests bearing wear, which can trigger imbalance detection.
Note: If mechanical components are sound and E07 appears with every load, the control board's imbalance detection may be faulty; this is typically a technician-level repair.
