Washer is unbalanced

If your washer is unbalanced, starts shaking, or keeps going off balance during a cycle, the most likely cause is that the washer is not level. A washing machine unbalanced condition can make the tub move excessively, create loud banging, or cause the washer to walk across the floor during spin. First, confirm that all four leveling feet are firmly touching the floor and that the cabinet does not wobble. Adjust the leveling foot positions as needed, then use a bubble level to check the appliance from front to back and side to side. A machine not level is the same basic issue and can create a washer load balancing problem even when the clothes are distributed correctly. If the washer still will not sit level after adjusting the feet, the leveling feet may be damaged, or the floor may require attention. Continued washing machine off balance problems can also require professional service to inspect the suspension system. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement leveling foot or other compatible part for your specific washing machine.
