Installation or Floor Resonance Issue
Washer causes excessive vibration or movement even when apparently level
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Washer installed on weak or flexible floor, Feet not locked after leveling, Rubber pads missing or worn, Heavy spin speed on unsuitable surface
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not allow the washer to walk across the floor; stop and unplug if movement is severe.
Steps to stabilize the washer:
- Re-level and lock feet: Adjust all four feet so the washer is stable, then lock the adjustment nuts against the base.
- Add anti-vibration pads: Place quality rubber pads under the feet to reduce transmission of vibration.
- Reduce spin speed: For very light floors, select a lower spin speed in the program options.
When to call a technician: If vibration persists despite proper installation, internal suspension components may be worn and should be inspected.
