Have you dealt with this: Stabilizing a front-load washing machine on an uneven floor.
I bought a washing machine this weekend -- at Sears, I hesitate to say after reading LiberalLiz's post on her nightmarish experience with Sears over her fridge... :(

The sales guy said I could stabilize the machine by putting a 3/4" piece of plywood on the floor where the machine was to be installed and screwing the plywood into the flooring and subflooring with long screws in a 4" x 4" grid pattern.

Has anyone here faced this issue before? What did you do? How did it work?

I know I need to stabilize the machine because front-loading washers really need a stable surface and my little house is a 1920 bungalow with noticeably "wavy" floors.

Thanks for any info you have! :hi:
