Universal Washer is unbalanced

When your washer is unbalanced, shaking, or walking across the floor during a cycle, start with the most likely cause: the washer is not level. A washing machine unbalanced condition often occurs when one or more feet are not firmly touching the floor, allowing the cabinet to wobble as the load spins. Check that the appliance sits solidly and that all leveling feet are adjusted evenly. Use a bubble level to verify the washer is level from side to side and front to back. An uneven floor or a damaged leveling foot can also cause a washer to keep going off balance, even when the feet appear correctly adjusted. If the machine still shakes violently after leveling, the problem may involve a suspension component, such as suspension rods, shock absorbers, tub springs, a snubber ring, or a balance ring. A washer load balancing problem can also result from an overloaded or unevenly distributed load. If you need a leveling foot or another replacement part, enter your washer's model number to find the exact part for your specific washing machine.

01 - Washer not level

Confirm that the washer feet are equally touching the floor and the unit does not wobble. Adjust the leveling legs as needed; a bubble level can be used to confirm the washer is level from front-to-back and side-to-side. If the appliance can't be leveled, service may be required.
