Are washing machines supposed to shake?

My washing machine shakes when it's on the spin cycle and I can feel the house shaking when it does this?

Is a washing machine supposed to shake enough to vibrate the house?

It's normal for a washing machine to shake a little bit.

But if it's shaking bad enough to vibrate the house then it's most likely not level and needs to be leveled up.

You level a washing machine by using a bubble level and adjusting the legs on the bottom.

The washing machine should be level from front to back and left to right.
