Liebherr Excessive Vibration / Suspension Wear

Washer-dryer makes loud banging or knocking noises during the spin cycle, but completes the cycle.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

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

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.
