Problem
Washing machine was moving around the room
Tools
Screwdrivers, pliers, socket wrenches
Repair & Advice
Our washing machine was bouncing around the room. I googled the problem and was directed to replace the shocks. There are youtube videos available to walk you through it. Not the easiest repair, but with some time and patience it can be done. The hardest part was getting the pins in.
