Vibration Switch Adjustment and Function Test
The Vibration Switch is a critical component of the washer that
avoids washer damage during extraction of an unbalanced
load. Vibration Switch adjustment must be performed during
installation and checked annually. The Vibration Switch is located
toward the front of the washer on top of the drum and can be
accessed by opening the top cover.
Vibration Switch Adjustment

If washer was just installed, run washer through one
complete extraction cycle without a load so the drum is
at its balance point.
2.
Turn off power to washer at the circuit breaker or fuse box.
3.
Unlock top cover of washer, remove dispenser screws, and
open top (see Top View on page 15 for location of dispenser).
Prop up the front of the cover.
