Leveling floor under washing machine

SRRAE

The floor under the washing machine, and drier in that matter, is very uneven.

The floor of the house is concrete, not wood, but the people who put the kitchen in before we bought the house, only tiled the floor up to the cupboards. Under the washing machine they tried to tile it to make it even but made a complete mess of it. The tiles under the washing machine only covers 2 and a half of the feet. I say 2 and a half because 2 feet are on the tiles completely, one is half on a tile and the last isn't under a tile.
This makes the washing machine very unstable, and very difficult to level.

I thought of maybe using cement to level off the poor attempt of using the tiles to level it.

I've tried to put wood under the washing machine, but about a quarter of the piece of plywood doesn't touch the floor because of the tiles that are under there, and when the machine spins the wood flexes.

Does anyone have an idea what I can do?

Im no expert but either take off the tiles assuming that by taking them away it doesnt look messy or as you say, level off with cement, making sure that the remaining tiles are secure in place. Using wood wont help as that would just vibrate.

Taking the tiles away and leaving the bare underfloor would probably be better as the machine could over time, loosen the tiles underneath - although, no doubt could be re-laid if needed.

Finish the tiling. Buy a few floor tiles and some fix n grout or fill the gap with wood to match the height of the missing tiles.

It's common ... I have the same problem - never used the machine in 3 years because of it.

New build/floor, they put a layer of wood (½" thick or so) down, but not all the way to the wall. Then, on top, tiled just beyond the line of the base units.... so, from the tile it drops down to wood, then drops down to the floor. I got given a random bit of wood to put at the back, but it scared the bejeezus out of me to be honest, especially as it was also under the gas boiler AND machines catching fire petrify me.

My solution is: I am having a utility extension built - and putting the s0dding thing out there

Not much help am I .... except you know it's not just you that buys from fools
