Washer/dryer isn’t properly leveled. The washer/dryer may vibrate if not properly installed. See
“Installation Instructions.” All four washer/dryer feet should be
in rm contact with the oor.
Clothing is balled up in washer/dryer. When balled up, the load will bounce, causing the washer/dryer
to vibrate. Separate the load items and restart the washer/dryer.
Loud humming
or increased noise
during cycle
Load is packed tightly. Loading drum half full or less will improve drying performance.
Drying Results
Clothes are not drying
satisfactorily or drying
times are too long

to dry quickly.
Separate the load to tumble freely. Loading drum half full or
less will improve drying performance and cycle time. Run a high
speed spin cycle.
The washer/dryer is located
in a closet.
Closet doors must have ventilation openings at the top and
bottom of the door. The front of the washer/dryer requires a
minimum of 3" (76 mm) of airspace, 1" (25 mm) on the sides,
and, for most installations, the rear of the washer/dryer requires
4" (102 mm). See “Installation Instructions.”
