Some cleaning machines legs mayn't be touching the floor & they may start rocking while they wash. All you have to do is to level the machine. This is a task with moderate difficulty.

This first thing that you have to do is to lean the machine forward so the rear feet to be about ten centimeters off the ground.
The back feet are in most cases self-leveling and now they can start level by themselves.

Position a sturdy block about 2 to 4 cm in dimension to hold up the washer in order that access the front feet. You may need to move the washer away from the wall to have sufficient room to install the block.

Following that loose the locknut on every foot with an adjustable wrench and following that you can adjust the feet.

Take out the wood block as though moving the washer & following that position the machine against the wall. Position a carpenter's level in front of the washer and check if the machine is level side to side.

If it's not, then use adjustable pliers to rotate the front foot until the washer is leveled. Place the level perpendicular in front of the machine & make certain that the washer level is in the same direction.

If it's not, then readjust each front foot by the same number of turns until you grab the level. Position the washer back on the wood block and retighten the locknuts & if necessary push it back against the wall.

If the machine still walks after you've leveled it, this could be from the floor beneath it. Then you may call a carpenter to check it.

The things that you are going to need are carpenter's level, adjustable wrench, 2-by four wood block, & adjustable pliers.
