How oen does this occur?
What type of load?
If the vibraons do not happen on every load, the load type or size is likely causing an
unbalanced load. This happens if the weight is not evenly distributed across the drum
surface, causing vibraons. Unbalanced loads can occur if the load is too small, contains
large items such as blankets or sheets, or is a mixed fabric load.

Unbalanced l oads w ill cause vibraons d uring the spin cycle.
Since the drum spins i n an up and down rotaon, proper balancing o f the load i nside the drum i s very i mportant f or the drum to spin s moothly.
If t he load is not e venly distributed across the drum surface, weight will be m ore in one area and less i n the other.
So when it reaches the higher RPMs t he d rum will spin slightly out of alignment.
Try to d istribute the load across the drum s urface t o reduce vibraons.
Removing i tems or adding m ore items to the l oad may be n ecessary t o help distribute the load properly.

Are the required clearances
being met?
If the required installaon clearances are not met,
something could be knocking against the side, back or top of the unit.
This causes of vibraon.
While it may vary, most units require 2cm on each side and 10cm at the back of the unit.
Do not store items on top of unit, especially during operaon.
