Signs: Vibration reduces noticeably when the load is redistributed.

A machine not sitting perfectly level, or placed on an uneven floor, will vibrate more than one properly levelled — a very common issue in older Samastipur homes.
Signs: Machine rocks noticeably when pushed gently.

Front load machines especially rely on shock absorbers to dampen drum movement — worn dampers let vibration transfer directly to the machine's body.
Signs: Vibration has been gradually worsening over months.

How do I level my washing machine?
Adjust the small feet at each corner (usually by turning them) until the machine doesn't rock when gently pushed from each corner — a spirit level on top helps confirm.
Can excessive vibration damage the machine further?
Yes — prolonged heavy vibration stresses the drum bearings, spider, and even internal wiring, potentially turning a simple fix into a bigger repair if ignored.
Is it normal for a machine to move slightly during spin?
A small amount of movement is normal, but a machine that walks noticeably across the floor or bangs against a wall needs attention.
Should I stop using the machine if it's shaking badly?
If it's genuinely severe (banging, moving significantly), it's worth pausing use until inspected, both to prevent further damage and for safety.
