CDA Severe Out-of-Balance Movement

Washer vibrates excessively and 'walks' across the floor during spin, even when level.

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, Weak or broken suspension springs, Missing or loose counterweights, Very flexible floor surface

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

Step-by-step checks:

Confirm leveling: Re-check that all feet are firmly on the floor and locked.
Inspect suspension and weights: Replace worn dampers and tighten or replace loose counterweights.
Floor reinforcement: If installed on a weak wooden floor, consider placing a rigid board under the machine to distribute weight.
Load advice: Spin with balanced loads and avoid mixing very heavy items with very light ones.
