Possible Causes
Shipping bolts not removed (front-load), Washer not level, Soft or uneven floor, Worn suspension or shocks
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the washer before moving or tilting it.
- 1. Remove shipping hardware: For new front-load units, confirm all shipping bolts and braces have been removed per installation instructions.
- 2. Level the washer: Adjust all feet so the washer is stable and does not rock. Tighten lock nuts.
- 3. Use anti-vibration pads: Place pads under the feet if the floor is slick or slightly uneven.
- 4. Inspect suspension: Replace worn shocks or springs if vibration persists with proper installation.
