Domestic Washing Machine installation

[ray bush]

I've installed a new washing machine in a room that unfortunatly has a suspended wooden floor and i do not have all round access to level it up .The floor is on solid joists covered with flooring grade chipboard covered in a laminate flooring which i dont think is that level and will cause the machine to go for a walk when it spins , thats what i'm trying to stop .I know that the ideal floor is a solid one ,but its just not an option ,unless i take that section of floor up and put a concrete slab in .The other problem is that because the machine is in a void that virtually fits it ,i can only get to the front legs to adjust for leveling withour pulling everything out each time which is a pain.
Any ideas would be great . Thanks

I've had that problem, Ray, (machine in small void) but never NOT been able to solve it by working out how much rock in millimetres there is with the machine in position, then adjusting the feet whilst the machine is out, then push it back in place. What happens when you do that?

Surely if its in a void (by that I assume you mean 'recess' i.e. between kitchen units) then it is not going to go far anyway. I would set all legs as short as possible, give rear feet one full turn to raise rear of washer (in case floor slopes up from wall to front of washer), insert washer into recess and adjust front legs to stop washer from rocking. If you still need more adjustment then I would put small 'pads' under front feet.

The machice is in a void in the utility room .If the unit wobbles too much it will end-up hitting the sides of the void which i dont want,i also want to level it up the best i can to save (in time) knocking the bearings out ,i suppose ive just got to keep adjusting it until its right.
