Common Causes

    • Check if the machine is level using a bubble level
    • Adjust the leveling feet until perfectly balanced
  • Unbalanced Load
    • Redistribute clothes evenly in the drum
    • Avoid washing single heavy items alone
    • Don't overload the machine
  • Shipping Restraints
    • Check if transportation bolts were removed during installation
    • Look for any plastic spacers that should have been removed

How to Diagnose

  • Use a level tool to check machine alignment
  • Inspect for visible damage to shock absorbers or suspension
  • Listen for unusual sounds during the spin cycle

DIY Solutions

    • Place a level on top of the washer
    • Adjust feet until bubble is centered
    • Tighten lock nuts to maintain position
