I have had my washer for three years, and it is now getting to me, it is not really level, rather then call someone, I would like to take a stab at doing it myself. My macine does not have a spin only selection, I just have not been able to stop the shaking, what would you recoment?-----The washer is a Miele W1213, | ||

Is the Machine Vibrating? If not, I'd leave it alone. I've constantly fiddled with mine, in the quest to get it level, and all I've ever seem to have done is increased the vibration, the more level it gets. If the machine is quiet and not vibrating excessively, then I'd leave it be. You'll save yourself a lot of heartache. | ||

Is it vibrating? ------- Well, that is just it, then the machine is completely empty, not at all, when I wash something heavy like my blue flanel sheets that are almost like heavy blankets, they vibrate like you would not believe. My washer and dryer are in the bathroom across from the bedroom,I have a really small house. When it spins with a full load, one of my friends thought that it was an earthquake! I told her no, it was the washer.I do not use the full spin speed on everything, like sheets for the clinic or jeans, they get too wrinkled, it still shakes however. | ||

RE----Saco tedy bear and Ranger------ That is what i am afraid of. When the man at the hardware store started talking, my head started spinning. I told him I was not that butch, although, the way that you put it, it sounds alot easier wht way that you put it. I really hope that this will fix the problem, is there anything else that I should know? | ||

It may not be the washing machine per se, causing the vibrations, but cases where the wash load has become unbalanced. If the above occurs, the the simple physics of the matter will cause the tub to spin slightly off kilter, causing the vibrations. Have found with certian heavy loads or even light ones such as sheets, if items tend to ball up and or get tangled together, then my Miele will vibrate during spin cycles. Sheets are notorious for this as sometimes pillow slips ball up inside fitted sheets and what not. Sometimes the entire wash load comes out in one large ball, with everything inside of each other.
