Did you completely remove the yellow shipping strap with
n
cotter pins from the rear of the washer? See "Installation
Instructions".

flexes or is uneven can contribute to noise and vibration of the
washer. A 3/4" (19 mm) piece of plywood under the washer
will reduce the sounds. See "Installation Instructions".

n
"Installation Instructions".
