How To Fix A Shaking Washing Machine

There are a few things that could cause your washing machine to shake. This annoyance could be caused by a heavy load of clothes or something more serious like the feet becoming uneven. If this is the case, use these tips, and get your feet steadily back on the ground.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Check for overloading: Ensure your washing machine is not overloaded with too many clothes. If it is, remove some of the clothes and try again.
Check the feet: Inspect the feet of your washing machine to see if they are uneven. Use a level to check the feet.
Adjust the feet: If the feet are uneven, use a wrench or pliers to adjust them until the washing machine is level. You may need a second person to help you adjust the back feet.
Check the level again: After adjusting the feet, check the level of the washing machine again to ensure it is even.
