Not sure how to explain this.. have a new wash machine and it has to go under a counter in small space. The floor is in terrible condition (rotting old plyboard and cork), uneven and falling to bits, so did my best to level the machine. But it was still vibrating on spin.
So i just put some old dvd boxes between the sides of the machine and the counters next to it, effectively packing it in super tight.
Now it doesn't vibrate, even though its not perfectly level.
Question is, is this bad for the machine? Are they supposed to be allowed to vibrate their casing a bit? Or is it ok? Thanks. It's a magnetic drive bosch btw.

We had a washing machine vibrate violently when we tested it for the first time. It turned out that it had these shipping bolts that was securing the drum. When we removed them the vibration stopped.
Check to see if youe machine has any shipping protection in place. If so follow the instructions to remove them.
