Very often the washing machine starts jumping during washing.

There may be many reasons for this, but there is no need to worry, you can now easily forget about this problem.

This problem is not related to the age of the equipment, so before fixing the problem, you need to find out the cause of this phenomenon.

Reasons why the machine jumps during the spin cycle

  • You may have forgotten to remove the shipping bolts that are located at the back of the washing machine. If you don't remove them, the machine will bounce around because they interfere with its function.
  • You may have parked the machine on a slippery and uneven surface. It should be on a flat and non-slip surface. Special feet and a rubber mat will help you fix the situation.
  • You may have put in too much laundry or it may have accumulated in one spot in the drum. You need to turn off the machine and distribute the laundry in an even layer.
  • It may be time to replace the springs in the middle of your washing machine.
  • It is possible that pins, metal pieces or other things have gotten into the drum that are causing vibration.
  • The cause must be removed by a technician. You can only clean the filter, remove foreign objects and distribute the laundry in an even layer.

How to remove vibration from a washing machine yourself

You must first turn off the equipment, drain the water, and only then unplug it from the outlet.

Open the machine and take out half of the laundry.

Select a lower spin speed and continue washing.
