Noise and vibration — Appliance not level or laundry unevenly distributed

What does Noise and vibration mean?

The Washing Machine is making excessive noise and vibrating during operation. This is often caused by the appliance not being properly leveled or by an uneven distribution of laundry in the drum, which can activate the stability control system (UKS).

• Appliance is not leveled correctly using the adjustable legs.
• Jam nuts on the adjustable legs are not securely tightened.
• Laundry is unevenly distributed or lumped together in the drum.
• Small loads or items with special geometrical properties are difficult to balance.
