The trick is to jack up the machine just enough to remove the legs, one at a time, take it out and add a nut with identical thread.When the machine is set down. level it an then lock the nuts against the machine, that will prevent further disleveling.
That's a good idea which I will try next time. My problem is that I live in an old house with uneven floorboards. The washing machine lives under the counter, so while it might be level when in the middle of the kitchen floor, once put back into place, it goes all wonky. It is fine just now because we had a new kitchen installed recently and the machine was leveled by the installers.
