Comments on How to Fix a Washing Machine That "Walks" Across the Floor

    The vibration pads are so expensive though. I fixed my dancing machine with a neoprene rubber mat. I bought a 6' long one, cut it in half and placed it under the four feet. Worked like a charm

    I had this very problem. My machine would unplug from the wall in the spin cycle. I found on ebay these things called front load anti vibration pads. Worked for me!!!

    Your explanation is complete rubbish when dealing with an inferior product. Suggest you re-word, or qualify. It does not apply to the Maytag PAV2300 washer.

    After several re-leveling attemps, we called a repairman. The only thing he did to remedy the problem was putting grease between the actual tub and the tub supports under the washer.

    I work at a service call center for a major manufacturer, the key is to make sure the shipping strap has been pulled and installation of the unit is properly completed. The shipping strap (in most cases) holds pins and the drum in place for shipping, and can cause the unit to walk if not extracted. I am now a strong believer in installation instructions.

    Level the washing machine. Try wedging rubber door stops under all sides of your washing machine until it is level.

    When the repair man came out to our home, he first leveled it (back legs) and then suggested putting down a rubber rug since our floor is concrete and seemingly unlevel. After waiting a couple of weeks, to the tune of more machine walking, we finally bought the rubber rug, and have a quiet, still washing machine.
