Safety: Keep clear of the washer while it is spinning; unplug before internal inspection.

Redistribute load: Pause the cycle, open the door/lid, and rearrange clothes evenly. Avoid washing single heavy items alone.
Level the washer: Adjust leveling feet so the washer is stable and does not rock.
Inspect suspension: Remove panels and check suspension rods/springs and shocks for wear or oil leakage. Replace as a set if worn.
Check counterweights: Ensure all concrete or steel weights are secure and bolts are tight.
