1. How to re-level your Maytag Neptune Washer?

As you know, not re-levelling your washing machine can cause it to vibrate, shake and produce noise incessantly. Some washers even vibrate and shakes hard enough that the whole machine literally walks. Here is what you need to do:
a. Ask someone to carefully tilt the machine so you can gain access to its front feet. Make sure you tilt it back not more than 4 inches as excess water in the pipes might leak to the motor area.
b. You should have prepared a small wood block with 2 x 4 dimensions. Place this woodblock under the center of your Maytag washer.
c. Using an adjustable wrench, loosen up the locknut of the feet of your washers. When the locknuts are loosened up, you can already adjust the feet. After you have adjusted it, tighten the locknuts once again. You can also purchase some of those rubber soles sold cheaply in the market. This will help secure the washer in place.
d. Remove the wood block and slowly put the washer back into its original position. If you have a level carpenter tool, use it to check its balance.
e. Also purchase a platform to secure the foot of your washer.
