Floor Vibrates

[Harry]

The floor in my double wide vibrates. It seems to only happen when we're running the washing machine. How do you stop that?

[Vivienne]

Try leveling your washing machine, the feet on it may be different levels.

The appliance is level. How do you shore up the floor. Can it be done underneath the house?

[Tanya]

OOh, I know the answer to this one! Our entire house used to shake during every spin cycle, until our washer repairman told us to take two 2x4s and nail them to the floor under the washer. (or you could put an entire platform under it). The wood now absorbs most of the vibration so it doesn't transfer to the rest of the house. Too bad we didn't know this earlier, because we now have lots of drywall cracks from all the shaking.
