How to Stop Washer Vibration and Noise
Simple leveling and load balancing tips that prevent excessive shaking and protect your machine from damage.

A washing machine that sounds like it's taking off can be alarming and can damage both the machine and your floors.
The first step is checking if the machine is level. Use a bubble level and adjust the feet accordingly. Also, ensure you are not overloading the drum or washing a single heavy item without balancing the load.
A balanced washer runs quieter and lasts significantly longer.
If the machine is level but still vibrates violently, the shock absorbers or suspension springs might be worn out. These parts degrade over time and require professional replacement to restore smooth operation.
