It is important that your washer be completely level to work properly. Washing machines come with leveling feet. These can be either self- leveling or manual and need to be set right when the washer is first installed in your home.
Manual leveling feet need to be turned by hand. This may require two people; one to lift machine and one to turn the feet. After some trial and error you should be able to get the machine levelled properly. Use a level to make this job easier and more accurate.
Self-leveling feet have a leveling mechanism. To activate you need to lift the machine and let the mechanism do it’s job.
The washing machine cannot spin properly if the load is not balanced. Heavy loads, such as towels or big blankets can often shift to one side, throwing the machine off kilter. Sneakers and other hard items should always be washed with soft things such as towels that can absorb the impact so as not to damage the washing drum.
