Brand new washer shaking really bad?

Question

Hello just bought a new washer and the thing is shaking like crazy on a gentle cycle and I am not sure why any advice.

Answer 1

Either its not level or you had your clothes unbalanced in it...maybe heavy items on one side or too many items on one side.  You may not have had enough items in it.  You need to have a balanced load.

Answer 2

You could be overloading your washer machine or it might not be on a flat surface.  

Answer 3

Two things come to mind:

1. Make sure the legs are level. They can be screwed out and in to make the washer level.

2. Make sure your clothes are well spread out. If you're washing jeans or towels etc. make sure they are laid out and not all bunched up on one side.

Answer 4

Maybe the load is not even and the tube unlevel, move the clothes so that the weight is evenly distributed.  

Answer 5

Did you level it before you ran it?  Is it on a firm surface?  If it is a top load machine, did you load the items evenly?

Not sure what to say - you'll need to give some more information.

Answer 6

It needs to be level. there should be little feet on the bottom of your washer that s***w out or in to adjust to the floor. If that does not work I don't know what to say. maybe there are too many clothes in it.

Answer 7

washers come with these little lingths you attach under the washer to make it level on the ground  ,  the washer may not have came with those , and they should have .   go to your washer when its turned off and kinda push on the top and see it moves , because that means it is not level on the ground and it needs the lingths
