Intro: A shaking machine looks dramatic, but the cause is usually simple.
1. Check the load
Too much or too little causes imbalance.
2. Level the machine
Adjust the feet so it sits flat.
3. Check the floor
Weak floors amplify vibration.
4. Remove transit bolts (new machines)
If they’re still in, the drum can’t move properly.
5. When to get help
If the drum makes grinding noises.
Summary: Most shaking comes from imbalance or uneven flooring.
