Unbalanced washer tub
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The more clothes I wash, the more the tub is becoming unbalanced. The first washer was tipped on its side to have the box removed upon arrival. I thought such was the reason for unbalanced tub. The second delivered washer is doing the same thing. Considering it’s a new product on the market, I’m guessing I’m a Guinea pig to product issues leading into future recalls.

Posted .We regret that you are having concerns with your Washer. Please see below for additional troubleshooting tips:
Is the washer out of balance?
An unbalanced load causes noise, vibration, reduced spin speed, and clothes remaining wet.
Self-Correction: The washer tries to self-correct by refilling and gently rotating to redistribute the load. If it fails, an error message appears.
Manual Correction: If a significant imbalance is detected (loud noises, excessive shaking, wet clothes), you may need to redistribute the load manually.
For more details on correcting and preventing out-of-balanced loads, review Washer is Unbalanced or Overloaded.
Is the washer properly loaded?
Place clothing in loose heaps evenly around the agitator to prevent vibration.
Never overload: Clothes should be loosely added and only as high as the top row of holes in the wash basket.
Water Level: Do not add extra water. The water level is designed for the impeller and clothes to engage; too much water causes floating and reduces cleaning action.
Are heavy or large items being washed?
Check Care Label: Ensure the item is machine washable in a top-load washer.
Distribution: Distribute water-absorbent items (quilts, blankets) in a doughnut shape around the impeller.
Load Size: Do not wash a single absorbent article (e.g., one rug); wash two or three to balance the load.
Grouping: Wash similar items together. Ensure the top of the impeller is visible.
Is the washer level?
The washer must be level, with all four feet in firm contact with the floor.
Check: Rock the washer diagonally. If it rocks, it needs to be leveled.
An unlevel washer can cause loads to become unbalanced, resulting in improper spinning, excessive noise, and vibration.
Learn how to use your phone to level household appliances.
If using a drain pan, leveling legs may need adjustment to raise the machine's height.

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Washer seems a good value. Got $32.10 refund for price match. Washer has different sound than our former machine, but we will get used to it. Purchase was easy, except for not being made aware of additional cost of drain hose. Installation was not traumatic. All is well.
