Handyman Stops Washer And Dryer From Wobbling

  
  
  

handyman washerYou can ask a handyman to do just about anything. Yes that includes leveling the appliances. Sometimes when you wash a large load of heavy items, such a jeans, the washer and dryer tend to shake, rattle and roll. Particularly during the spin cycle, if the clothes end up on one side of the agitator, the appliance can just rock and roll. As a bonus, if the washer and dryer are touching each other, one will bang into the other. You would swear the appliances are walking across the room.

Most of these problems can be solved by simply leveling the machines. This is done by adjusting the feet on the bottom of the machines, and it's really easy.

You can probably hold the corner of the maching and gently push or pull and it will move. It is usually only one or two feet that are really out of line. Start by moving the machine so that the out-of-balbance foot is off the floor and move the foot downward. Turning the foot counter-clockwise will lower the foot and turning it clockwise will raise the foot. If you want to get fancy, you can use a level on the top of the machine, just place it both side-to-side and front-to back. Continue adjusting the feet until it is balanced and so it won't move when you try to push it.
