About This Guide
Thirty minutes. $0 in parts. Saves the floor.
A washing machine that shakes during spin cycle is almost always a leveling issue — not an internal fault. Shipping bolts left in, uneven legs, or a worn-out pedestal cause the shake. The fix is a wrench and a level.
Walks: - Diagnosing why your washer shakes. - Shipping bolt removal (new install). - Leveling the legs (all four). - Testing with a load. - Anti-vibration pads. - Pedestal stability. - When it's actually the machine, not the level.
