How to Fix a Shaking Washing Machine: 8 Steps

When the timer changes from _wash/rinse_ to _spin_, and the washing machine begins to shake, rattle, and bump, it is time to either level the machine properly, or rebalance the clothes in the drum. Here are some tips for doing each.
STEPS
_ 1FIND OUT THE REASON FOR THE SHAKING DURING THE SPIN CYCLE. The cause will usually be either a badly out of balance load, or a poorly leveled and set up machine.
Balance the load of clothes by opening the lid, and looking to see if there is a lot more on one side of the agitator than the other, and if this is the problem, move them around, close the lid, restart the spin cycle, and observe the results. You may try repositioning the clothes in the tub slightly more if you original efforts helped significantly.





2
TRY TO TIP OR TILT THE MACHINE. If it wobbles when you do, the adjustment screws on the machine's base may not be set correctly, or on older machines, the threads may be stripped or corroded out, causing them to fail.



3
RELEVEL YOUR MACHINE AND INSURE IT IS SUPPORTED CORRECTLY. This is done by kneeling down in front of the machine, and rocking it to see which corner seems to be floating_, or not in contact with the floor. The leveling screw should be screwed out (clockwise, if viewed from above), which lengthens it, or the adjacent side should be screwed in (shortened), so that each leveler is in contact with the floor.



4
USE A PAIR OF PLIERS IF THE THUMBSCREWS ARE TOO TIGHT TO TURN WITH YOUR FINGERS, AND SPRAYING THE SCREWS WITH A LUBRICANT MAY HELP, ALSO.



5
RESTART YOUR MACHINE WHEN YOU HAVE MADE SURE ALL THE LEVELING SCREWS ARE IN CONTACT WITH THE FLOOR.



6
USE SHIMS TO SUPPORT THE MACHINE IF THE SCREWS HAVE BECOME UNUSABLE FOR SOME REASON (BROKEN, STRIPPED, OR OTHERWISE DAMAGED). Shims can be made of almost any resilient, non-degradable material which can be cut easily, like scrap vinyl composition tile, rubber matting, or even plastic margarine container lids.



7
CUT A NUMBER OF SHIMS, ABOUT 3 OR 4 INCHES IN WIDTH, AND STACK THEM UNDER EACH CORNER WHERE THEY ARE NEEDED, UNTIL THE CORNERS ARE EQUALLY SUPPORTED.



8
RESTART THE MACHINE AND OBSERVE YOUR RESULTS.
TIPS
Worn drive assembly parts may also cause vibration in older washing machines, in which event, these steps will not correct the problem.
Washing machines should be set up level to operate correctly, so using a small _torpedo_, carpenter's spirit level, or other means of accomplishing this will help.
Unload any contents from the machine before working on it if possible, to decrease the weight of it.
Get someone to hold the machine up, or find something to _chock_ it with while adjusting screws.
Before tilting the machine, check the water supply hoses, the discharge hose, and the power cord to make sure there is enough slack to prevent damage.
WARNINGS
Disconnecting the power is always a good idea before doing any work on an electrical appliance.
THINGS YOU\'LL NEED
_Slip joint pliers, vice grip pliers, or channel lock_ adjustable pliers.
Spirit or torpedo level.

3 Ways to Make a Free Webpage Using Microsoft Word (for Macs)

You may of heard of websites that allow you to create free webpages or websites. But, they either require you to know HTML code or choose from a selection of pre-made templates. But, if you have the latest version of Microsoft Word for Macs and are familiar with it then you can create your own personalized webpage for free! And best of all, it's as easy as typing a Word document!
STEPS
METHOD 1 OF 3: CREATING THE WEBPAGE



1
OPEN A WORD DOCUMENT. This where you will add content to your webpage. If you are familiar with the tools for Microsoft Word then this will be a breeze.



2
ADD TEXT BY SELECTING THE COLOR, SIZE, AND FONT, AND TYPE AWAY! Keep in mind the way you see it now is the way everyone else will see it on the web.



3
ADD PICTURES BY GOING TO INSERT>PICTURE>CLIP ART. You can browse through the selection your Clip Art window has, or you can also follow the link at the bottom to Clip Art's website and upload pictures from there. Another way to add pictures is to open iPhoto and drag-and-drop your own photos.



4
HIGHLIGHT ANY TEXT YOU WANT TO HYPERLINK AND GO TO THE HYPERLINK MENU TO LINK IT. Adding hyperlinks is a good way to create an entire website by linking your other Word webpages to phrases like "CLICK HERE".
METHOD 2 OF 3: PUBLISHING THE WEBPAGE



1
TO PUBLISH IT, GO TO FILE>SAVE AS WEBPAGE. A window will pop up allowing it to save. As long as you clicked on SAVE AS WEBPAGE, it will already have the default save format for publishing it to the web.



2
CLICK SAVE, and it will save your document to your designated file . Safari should also open up and take you to your webpage. If not, open it through the file you saved it to.
METHOD 3 OF 3: PROMOTING YOUR NEW WEBPAGE



1
YOU MAY NOTICE THAT ITS URL CODE IS EXTREMELY LONG, SO DIRECTLY ENTERING THE URL OF IT ISN\'T ALWAYS THE QUICKEST OPTION. The best way to promote it is to create links for it on your Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.



2
YOU CAN ALSO TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT IT THROUGH EMAIL. Copy and paste the URL into the hyperlink option.



3
FINISHED.
TIPS
This method might work on PCs also, but it is not guaranteed.
WARNINGS
Do not make viruses and post them with this method.
