Possible cause | Resolution |
---|---|
The washing machine is installed on an unsuitable surface. | Vibrating noises, especially at high spin speeds, can be attributed to the surface on which the washing machine is installed. Wooden floors are particularly unsuitable. Ideally install your washing machine in the corner of the room on a hard surface.

The washing machine is not level. | A washing machine that is not level will often create vibrating noises from the feet, especially at high spin speeds. Ensure that the appliance is parallel to the ground by using a spirit level. If it is found not to be, adjust the feet accordingly and tighten them in place.

The transportation bolts have not been removed during installation. | If your washing machine is making a strange noise throughout the programme, the first thing to check is that the transportation bolts have been removed from the back of the appliance. If they haven't, you should remove these immediately and replace them with the blanks that came with your washing machine. Ensure that you retain these transportation bolts in case you need to transport your washing machine in the future.
