    Hi, I have recently bought a new AEG integrated washer driver product code 914606041. If I spin the drum manually when the machine is empty the drum spins in a stable fashion. However, under load, when on spin cycle, the drum wobbles forwards and backwards quite a lot. This happened during every spin so not sure unbalances loads are the issue. The machine is wedged in quite well so it isn’t an issue per se but I am just wondering whether this forward and back wobble is normal since I don’t want the drum bearings to wear out prematurely. Thanks!

    Re: Washing machine drum wobble

    From what you describe it sounds pretty normal you should see that with any sort of load, on spin especially at low speeds. Once it accelerates that wobble with disappear totally.

    Incidentally, if your machine is free standing it is important the adjustable feet are adjusted correctly and locked into position. There should also be a free gap all around the machine of at least 1cm to allow the cabinet a little vibration (wiggle) room. When you say “wedged in” it should not be literally so as that could compromised the machines stability tolerance.
