Possible Causes
Transport bolts not removed, Machine not leveled, Worn shock absorbers, Weak or flexible floor surface
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before tipping or adjusting the feet.
- Step 1 – Check transport bolts: For recently installed machines, ensure all rear transport bolts and spacers have been removed according to the installation manual.
- Step 2 – Level the washer: Adjust the front and rear feet so the machine is stable and does not rock. Tighten the lock nuts.
- Step 3 – Floor reinforcement: Place the washer on a solid, level surface. Avoid weak wooden floors; consider using a vibration mat.
- Step 4 – Inspect the suspension: If vibration persists, inspect the shock absorbers and springs for wear or damage and replace them as needed.
