Is your washer off balance?

Too much noise coming from your washer during the spin cycle might indicate that the appliance is off balance, which often entails serious damages to the unit. Such a problem might have several root causes and require quite simple solutions. Check out our guide to troubleshoot the problem quickly. First-time use In case you've faced the problem immediately after the installation, it’s a good idea to check the washer for any shipping materials that were left in place by mistake. Make sure all the metal clamps, shipping bolts and spacers have been removed. By referring to the instructions manual you will find out the exact number of shipping elements that your washer comes with. If you fail to remove all the materials, you risk encountering a more serious problem in the future. Unlevel washer It’s important for the washer to be in tight contact with the floor. Any pedestal or carpet might cause the appliance to rock while spinning and thus become off balance. If this is the case, check your instruction manual for information on how to relevel the washer. Overloading To check whether overloading is to blame, try running your washer with a small load. If the machine doesn't show any strange behaviour, avoid filling the washer to the top to prevent the issue from recurring in the future.
