whirlpool washer balance

I just installed a brand new whirlpool stackable washer and dryer. I am happy with the performance of both so far, but the washer literally shakes the entire coach when spinning. Has anyone ever experienced this or know what i can do to maybe balance this machine? Or maybe point me in the right direction to solve this?

ALL Clothes washers have 4 Shipping bolts to secure the drum in transit. IF you read the Install directions it is pointed out to remove those bolts:B Doug

coach is definitely level, and washer is level also. i will try pausing the cycle and rearranging load to see if that helps. this surely has me puzzled. Please keep any other ideas coming

That assumes the floor is level. It's not a good idea to transfer all that vibration stress to the floor.


That is exactly how both my washer and dryer were installed at DRV.

The washer empty will not shake.> but even my mini can really shake things up (1.6 CU-Ft does bedding by the Johnny Cash Method "One Sheet at a Time" 🙂 )

re-arrange cloths and re-start spin cycle.. You may need to do this a few times.

Make sure the coach is level and the washer is level in the coach.

When my home washer does this I pause the washer and redistribute the load around so it's more uniform.
