Possible Causes

Deformed inner drum, Partially failed shock absorbers, Loose concrete counterweights, Worn drum spider causing imbalance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting internal components.

Step-by-step checks:

  • Check counterweights: Remove the top and front (or rear) panels to access concrete weights. Ensure all bolts are tight and weights are not cracked.
  • Inspect shock absorbers: Replace if they show signs of leakage or offer little resistance.
  • Observe drum run-out: Spin the drum by hand and watch the gap between drum and door seal. Significant wobble suggests drum or spider deformation, requiring drum assembly replacement.
