Washer moves around too much?

Ummm...it's overfilled and unbalanced.Washer moves around too much?
1) Is the floor sloped?


2) Are you overloading your washer? Is it unbalanced? Try smaller loads that are balanced. When it starts to travel, stop it and readjust the load so that it's even on both sides.Washer moves around too much?
its off balance. either the load is too heavy, or the feet need adjusted.. remove clothes and / or rearrange them
oooh i hate that when it gets all jiggy when washing clothes. i don't know though...get a new one i suppose...
Most likely it's that it is unevenly loaded. Test it by running a spin cycle with the machine empty. If it still shakes, it could be setup uneven (highly unlikely if it ';moves around too much';). Get a level, check it. Adjust the feet. If that doesn't help, it could be a problem inside the machine, as in something was bolted down off center, then it's defective. Take it back or call out the warranty repair.
I'll go with what the rest of the people have said. Make sure that the washer is level and the loads are balanced.





I also went ahead and got some rubber furniture pads and put under mine. This will help the washer from walking from the vibrations.





Hope it works for you.





good luck.
I think KJ has the answer.
Mine will do that if the load is unbalanced while it is in the spin cycle.
you need to make sure your washer is level. you can lay a level on top of it and make the adjustment needed. the legs of it should screw in and out.
the balancing thing and leveling is the most likely thing,but one thing that could have been overlooked this that the washer legs should have rubber piece on them already but some time the service guy for get to put them on. hope this help.
Make sure the washer is level on your floor!


There is those little things on the bottom to help level it out.
check the legs and see if its sitting right.. use a spirit level to check otherwise you may have overloaded it or unbalanced it.. if the floor is un even you may need a wee bit of timber under neath to balance it up... failing that see a tech
Sit on it and it won't move s much or get new washer.
everyones problem with a tub washer.





i'm guessing this is the reason why they invented/modified the washer and made a drum wasger.





all the above answers are right. but if it really annoys you get a drum washer.





ps. drum washers leak after sometime :-))
Well, either your floor is uneven, or you are putting too much clothes into the washer. Don't overfill the washer. I have found that is is best to fill it 3/4 of the way with dry laundry. That should atleast help. If not maybe its time to upgrade!?
