If your washing machine causes kitchen units to shake, the issue is usually linked to vibration during the spin cycle. When the drum rotates at high speed, even small imbalances can lead to noticeable movement.
One of the most common reasons is that the appliance is not level. Adjustable feet are designed to keep it stable, but if one side is slightly off, vibration can increase and spread into surrounding units.
Another factor is the load inside the machine. Heavier items can shift during the cycle, causing the drum to spin unevenly and increasing the force of movement.
Across Scotland, many homes have flooring that can slightly flex under heavy appliances. This can make the vibration feel stronger and more noticeable in the kitchen.
If the washing machine is fitted closely between cabinets, it may knock against them during operation, creating both noise and visible shaking.
If basic checks do not improve the issue, it is often best to have the installation looked at properly to ensure it is set up correctly.
