Hello Everyone, I have been meaning to post to the list for quite a while but time just keeps slipping away.
Anyway, a while back, my top-loading washer began doing the walk of shame across the floor during the high-speed portion of the spin cycle. Now It was not doing this every spin cycle but only when I had the basket loaded with heavy bedding. Anyway, again with that time slipping away thing, I let it go on for far too long. Finally, one day, I decided to either resolve the problem on my own or hire someone to do it for me. Of course, I knew that the problem was that the machine needed to be leveled as it had been over 4 years since its installation into my home. The thing is, to the naked eye, the unit looked pretty much level; at least it did to all of the sighted people I consulted; not professionals, just friends. Finally, I remembered that my beloved 14 Pro Max has a native level app. I discovered that the laundry room floor dips off by about 1 degree as one approaches the center of the room. You really can't tell by standing on the floor because it only reaches that 1 degree at the very center. Anyway, after practicing with the level for a day or so with various surfaces around my house, one day I began leveling the washer, by myself; even though it is generally a 2-man job. With the help of the iOS level app, I was able to get the washing machine level after about 15 minutes or so. I was truly impressed at how sensitive the device was to even the slightest changes in a surface angle. After 15 minutes or so, I took my final measurements and the machine was perfectly level from every angle I could think of to measure. Now, even with the heaviest loads in the basket, the walk of shame has stopped. What a wonderful tool that helped me to get the job done right. The level app, found in the Measure app of iOS is always there when you need it; so take it for a quote, spin, quote, the next time you need to level up.
