Vibrating washing machine: The reason behind vibration in washing machine can be over loading the machine or putting the clothes in unbalanced manner, now when the machine starts working the uneven load of laundry gets in contact with the washer wall and it shakes the machine resulting vibration. Another reason could also be that the machine is not settled on a flat surface, the surface is not leveled.

Pulling out some of the clothes and putting them back correctly would solve the problem. You may have a look at the instruction manual where the manufacturer mentions the maximum load weight the machine can carry. If you floor is not leveled, put a piece of hard wood under the washer’s feet. 

Machine throws odors: Odors after wash are common and reason could be low quality detergent, dirty water or washing clothes which were extremely dirty or had sticky stains like of oils, custard, jam, grease etc.

To stop such smells, use a fine quality washing powder and pour proper amount of it as excessive detergent leaves residue in machine’s hidden parts and generate odors. Make a habit of cleaning your washing machine twice a month thoroughly. Mildew and mold should be cleaned immediately as they just don’t smell bad but are also health hazard.

Always check the pockets of the clothes before putting them into the laundry drum as pens, keys, coins or even a hanky may get stuck in the pump and block the drainage. Remove the drain hose and check if something is clogged inside, remove it also clean the residue jammed inside and attach the hose back.
