Level it. Check your manual, or you can probably find it online. I
think most washers today have "self-leveling" rear legs...


Yes, IIRC I think my whirlpool from 40 years ago had that, and my
current Kenmore from 28 years ago. They might need a little help, by
tipping the machine forward so the back is up a couple (2) inches, and
then dropping the machine down.

Machines learn to walk when they are little, but after they learn to
talk, you should be able to reason with them.
