Possible Causes

Severely unbalanced laundry load, Worn or weak shock absorbers, Faulty imbalance sensor (if fitted), Excessive vibration due to installation issues

Safety first: Keep the washer unplugged while adjusting installation components.

Step-by-step checks:

Rebalance the load: Redistribute laundry evenly. Avoid washing a single heavy item alone.
Check installation: Ensure the washer is level using a spirit level. Adjust the feet so the machine is stable.
Inspect suspension: Inspect the shock absorbers. If they are leaking oil or offer no resistance, replace them as a pair.

If D08 persists with balanced loads, an imbalance sensor fault may be present.
