Possible Causes

Worn shock absorbers, broken or stretched suspension springs, machine not level, heavy load imbalance.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep children and pets away from a violently vibrating machine. Unplug before inspection.

  • Level the appliance: Adjust the feet so the machine is stable and does not rock. Tighten the lock nuts on the feet.
  • Check load: Avoid washing single heavy items. Redistribute the laundry and run a spin-only cycle.
  • Inspect suspension: Remove side or rear panels and inspect the shock absorbers and springs. If the drum bounces more than once when pushed down, replace the shocks.
  • Check for tub contact: Look for signs of the drum or tub hitting the cabinet. Replace worn suspension components to restore proper support.
