I just bought a brand new washing machine (Whirlpool GSW9800P) and I'm
having a hard time getting it balanced. It's sitting on a linoleum
floor and every time it goes into its spin cycle it starts to shake,
rattle and move across the floor. I've tried adjusting the front legs
repeatedly, but it's just not doing the trick (either that, or I just
haven't found the magically height). Any suggestions on what I can
do/try?

Thanks.


May be obvious, but did you use a level on it? You may try moving the
washer a few inches--it may be in "a sweet spot." My washer danced
around a lot too, but I found that a 4x4 placed behind it help a lot
and prevented it from bouncing up against the back wall. Whirlpool
has a customer 800 help line (I believe in Knoxville, TN)--call them!
