Possible Causes

Shipping bolts not removed on new installation, Washer not leveled, Worn suspension rods or shock absorbers, Uneven or weak floor structure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep children and pets away from a vibrating washer. Unplug before adjusting feet or suspension.

  • Remove shipping bolts: On new Insignia washers, ensure all rear shipping bolts and transit brackets have been removed per the installation manual.
  • Level the washer: Adjust the leveling feet so the washer is stable and does not rock. Lock the nuts to maintain position.
  • Check floor: Place the washer on a solid, level surface. Reinforce weak floors or use an anti-vibration pad if necessary.
  • Inspect suspension: If vibration persists, inspect and replace worn Insignia suspension rods (top-load) or shock absorbers (front-load).
