Washer Vibrates Too Much At Low Speed (drum Moves Back And Forth). Spin Ok.
The front load washer vibrates so much the pedestal drawer all slide open.
It seems to be that the drum is moving horizontal causing the vibrations. On higher speeds (spin) the vibration seems to go away.
What part should I suspect as the cause? Where can I find the repair video or manual that might cover this problem?
Otherwise I love these blue machines!
