Top Load Washers - What may cause my washer to vibrate?

Applies to

• Top Load Washer

Solution

If your Frigidaire Top Load washer was recently installed, here are a few things to check if your washer is vibrating: The washer needs to be resting firmly on the floor.

• Check to ensure it is level (both front to back and side to side), with each washer leg placed solidly on the floor.
• You can adjust the leveling legs by simply turning the legs slightly in or out until the washer is firmly on the floor, then tight the lock nuts.

TIP: Leveling legs should not extend more than ½ inch below the washer bottom. The washer needs to be installed on a sturdy, hard floor. It is not recommended that you install the washer on carpeting. Shipping materials may not have been removed during the installation.

• Check your Installation instructions for more information.
• The laundry load may be off balance. Turn the power off and wait for the lid to unlock. Redistribute the clothes evenly in the washer.

TIP: If the load remains out of balance, simply add one or two similar items to the load – especially if it’s a smaller load - and restart the washer. If you are unable to resolve an issue or need more information, please contact us.
