Can I replace the feet on my machine?
Hello everyone,
I am looking to replace the feet of my washing machine as they seem to have worn down over the years. This has caused excessive vibrations when the machine is in full spin.
Has anyone had experience with doing this? What kind of ones should I be looking for? The ones that are currently inside the machine look fairly basic and have a hard base.
Thanks in advance for the help!

I expect most washing machine feet are cheap and not so great quality these days. You should be able to buy new feet if you can find them.
Alternatively, you could try placing specially designed cups underneath them. Try searching for rubber feet for washing machines.
