The washing machine is not aligned correctly.
The washing machine must stand perfectly level on all 4 feet to ensure safe and proper operation.
The 4 adjustable feet are used for levelling the washing machine. The appliance is supplied with all feet screwed in.
Using the open spanner supplied, turn the counter nut (2) in a clockwise direction.
Then turn the counter nut (2) together with the foot (1) to unscrew.
Use a spirit level to check the washing machine is standing level.
Hold the foot (1) securely with a pipe wrench.
If the counter nuts are not screwed tightly against the housing, the washing machine may move around during operation.
Turn all 4 counter nuts until they sit firmly up against the housing, including the ones for the feet that have not been unscrewed.
Use the open spanner again to screw the counter nut (2) tight against the housing.
