Washing Machine Shaking While Spinning: Troubleshooting Guide

Checking for Proper Installation and Leveling

1. Place a spirit level on top of the washing machine to check if it is perfectly horizontal.
2. Adjust the leveling feet at the base of the machine by rotating them clockwise or counter-clockwise until the unit is stable.
3. Ensure all four feet are firmly touching the floor and tighten the lock nuts to prevent them from shifting during operation.
4. Check that the floor surface is solid and not made of slippery tiles or uneven wood that may cause the machine to lose grip.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Verify if the transit bolts (shipping bolts) were removed from the back of the machine, as these lock the drum during transport and cause violent shaking if left in place.
2. Check the laundry load to ensure it is not unbalanced; heavy items like blankets or rugs can cause the drum to wobble.
3. Inspect the shock absorbers or suspension springs for visible signs of damage or leakage if the machine is older.
4. Ensure the machine is not overloaded, as exceeding the weight capacity prevents the drum from spinning smoothly.
