Richard4849 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 So, got a new washing machine, an Electrolux. At the spin cycle, heard a tremendous racket, and went to the laundry room to discover that the machine had walked halfway across the floor. Any advice?

jdinasia Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 sounds like a load balancing problem. Is the floor actually level in that room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mario299 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 sounds like a load balancing problem. Is the floor actually level in that room? Agreed, even level floor or not, if the load is imbalanced it will cause the machine to walk in the spin cycle. Open the lid, move things around (you'll undoubtedly find more things on one side or the other in the tub) should be end of problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
