Possible Causes

Shipping bolts not removed, Unit not leveled, Weak or flexible floor, Worn suspension components

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before tipping or adjusting its feet.

  • 1. Check shipping bolts: Ensure all rear shipping bolts and brackets used for transport have been removed according to the installation manual.
  • 2. Level the unit: Adjust the leveling feet so the washer-dryer is stable and does not rock. Lock the feet in place with the jam nuts.
  • 3. Reinforce flooring: If installed on a weak or suspended floor, consider adding a plywood reinforcement panel under the unit.
  • 4. Inspect suspension: If vibration persists, check the shocks and springs for wear and replace them as needed.
