How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Stop the machine and wait for the drum to stop before moving it.

  • Check transit bolts: For recently installed Candy washers, ensure all shipping bolts at the rear have been removed according to the installation manual.
  • Level the machine: Adjust the feet so the washer is stable and does not rock.
  • Inspect suspension: From underneath or via rear access, check shock absorbers for oil leaks or looseness and springs for breakage. Replace worn components in pairs.
  • Load correctly: Avoid single heavy items; mix large and small garments to balance the load.
