Kelvinator Washer is unbalanced

When your Kelvinator washer is unbalanced, starts shaking, or moves across the floor during the spin cycle, check the washer's position before replacing internal parts. The most likely cause is that the washer is not level. Confirm that all four leveling feet touch the floor firmly and that the cabinet does not wobble. Adjust the leveling feet as needed, then use a bubble level to check the machine from front to back and side to side. A damaged or missing leveling foot can prevent proper adjustment and may need replacement. The second listed cause is also a machine that is not level, which produces the same washer keeps going off balance symptoms and can make the washing machine shake violently during spin. Keep the washer on a solid, level floor and avoid operating it if it cannot be stabilized, since service may be required. If a leveling foot or related support part needs replacement, enter your Kelvinator washer's model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine.
