It is not okay to turn it on its side. If the washer has been used already, there is still excess water inside it - either somewhere close to the lint screen, the pump or the water hose. If you turn it on its side, the water can leak to the motor and this might damage the machine. Always keep it in an upright position.

Can you transport a new in the box washing machine laying on its back?

It is not recommended. The drum and motor assembly of the typical top-loading automatic washing machine are suspended from the sheet metal cabinet in a way that allows them to move when the load is out of balance. The suspension mechanism is designed to hold the weight of the drum, agitator, motor, pump, water and clothes in a vertical position, and if tipped on its side the mechanical parts may be damaged in transit, unless they are first blocked with padding material to keep them in the center of the cabinet. If the new-in-box machine has instructions on it to the effect of "THIS SIDE UP", heed the instructions or risk damaging the machine and voiding the warranty.

How do you load a washing machine so that it does not unbalance the drum?

Just put the heavier clothes (jeans, etc.) on each side equally. There's no way really to be 100% right as once the machine starts and fills with water, it agitates the clothes any way. If it does unbalance then just put some clothes on the opposite side to even it out.

Why does a washing machine shake when spinning?

A washing machine may shake when spinning due to an uneven load distribution in the drum. This can happen if the laundry is not balanced or if there is a heavy item on one side. Additionally, an unlevel floor or an issue with the machine's leveling legs can also cause shaking during the spin cycle.


How do you tell if Kenmore Sewing Machine 1525 is a oscillating hook?

Remove the bobbin cover plate or open the door( I don't know if its a top loading drop in bobbin or a side or front loading with a removable bobbin case and watch the hook when you turn the handwheel. If it moves about half way in the circle and then stops and goes back the other way, its an oscillating hook. If it makes a complete rotation, it's a rotary hook. You may need to remove the bobbin(if it's a drop in bobbin) or removable bobbin case if it's loads from the front or side) to see this clearly.
