Possible Causes
Solution
Feet may not be in contact with the
floor and locked.
Front and rear feet must be in firm contact with floor, and
washer must be level to operate properly. Jam nuts must be
tight against the bottom of the cabinet.
Check floor for flexing or sagging. If flooring is uneven, a 3/4"
(19 mm) piece of plywood under your washer will reduce sound.
See “Level the Washer” in Installation Instructions.
Load could be unbalanced.
Load garments in loose heaps evenly around the washplate.
Do not load garments directly over the center of the washplate.
Adding wet items to washer or adding more water to basket
could unbalance washer.
Wash smaller loads to reduce imbalance.
Use Bulky cycle for oversized, non-absorbent items such as
jackets and small comforters.
See “Cycle Guide” and “Using Your Washer” in this Use and
Care Guide.
Check the following for
proper installation or
