Leveling a Maytag dependable care washer
You want the washer is low to the floor as possible don't extend any of the legs further than necessary. Once you get the machine level, tighten the lock nuts up against the base of the machine tightly
The further the feet are extended the worse, the stability of the machine, if the floor under the machine is weak take a three-quarter inch piece of plywood at least as big as both the washer and the dryer Glue and screw it to the floor every 4 inches and then put the washer and dryer on top of that, the other solution would be to get a washing machine with better suspension.
On Wednesday I did a service call this week on an A1 08 1980 Maytag it was dancing all over the basement. They had the feet screwed practically out of the machine and the lock nuts were not tight of course it also had a bad damper Which really made it bad, the customer was in it for the long haul. She bought the Maytag in 1980 so she decided to buy Speed Queen front loader from us.
