Possible Causes

Worn shock absorbers (dampers), Broken or stretched suspension springs, Counterweight loose or cracked, Machine not level on floor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before tipping or moving it.

  • Level the machine: Use a spirit level on the top. Adjust the front and rear feet so the washer is stable and does not rock.
  • Check load distribution: Avoid washing single heavy items (e.g., one bath mat). Mix large and small items to balance the drum.
  • Inspect dampers: Remove the rear or front panel and examine the shock absorbers attached to the tub and base. If they are oily, loose, or move too easily by hand, replace them as a pair with genuine AEG dampers.
  • Check springs and counterweights: Ensure the top suspension springs are intact and that concrete or cast-iron counterweights are tight and not cracked.
