Tappan Washer is unbalanced

Is your Tappan washer unbalanced, shaking, or moving across the floor during the spin cycle? The most likely cause is that the washer is not level. Check that all leveling feet are firmly touching the floor and that the cabinet does not wobble. Adjust the leveling feet as needed, then use a bubble level to verify the washing machine is level from front to back and side to side. The second likely cause is that the machine itself is not level because the floor or a leveling foot is uneven, damaged, or improperly adjusted. A washer that is not level may shake violently, vibrate too much, or walk across the floor when the load spins. If you cannot level the appliance after adjusting the feet, the leveling foot or another support component may need service. Enter your Tappan washer model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific washing machine. RepairClinic carries Tappan leveling feet and other washer parts, with model-specific fit information to help you make the repair confidently.
