Hi! To check this, push on the corners of the machine, one at a time. If it moves in a vertical direction, then the feet are off-balance, and you should put a shim or any piece of material on the floor to balance it. Otherwise it's not a problem with the feet.


Hope this helps! If it does, please click on the Accept Answer button. I will greatly appreciate it! :)
