We just bought a house that is about 55 years old. The machine that came with the house was left here by previous owners. The machine shakes several rooms in the house when it runs (ie lots of vibrations). Can this damage our house in the long run? If so, how?
Thanks.

Your house must have a screw loose.

The off center loads (of wash) is the simplest remedy. If that doesn't solve your problem peer into the washer guts and see if there's some other rather obvious remedy -- like worn bushings or loose motor mounts that you can tend to. You can post again exclusively abt the washing machine.
If the machine rattles several rooms, I'd try to remedy it in some fashion; the vibration is threatening the machine (and depending on how violent the vibration is, maybe other structures affected by the vibration).

If the machine shakes several rooms in your house, I would say the house already has problems.
The machine can shake until it pulls the drain water line out and water can do a lot of damage.

i might ask to be sure the wear and tear or have hold a legal professional. i might a minimum of ask to be sure an itemized invoice for the damages. merely considering the fact which you bypass with the aid of a legal professional does no longer propose you will courtroom to sue. maximum folk want to circumvent courtroom because it relatively is extreme priced and time eating. Your legal professional could possibly make a manage the owner or coverage corporation which you won't be able to do on your very own. My advice - metallic Braided washer hoses and be useful they connect good. be useful to learn your washer hoses and connection each and every six months, bypass away approximately 3-4 inches between the back of the device and wall so the hoses do no longer kink excessively.

See if it's feet on the bottom can't be adjusted,just like a table at a restaurant.No serious damage will happen unless your house is made of cards.It could speed up the settling of drywall when screws and nails start popping. Balance the load and don't over load it .

Probably no, but could loosen nails and such.
Check the clothes and make sure they are no off center. An off center load is what causes the machine to shake. If there is more on one side than the other side, even them out.
Good luck. Pops

Yes
The floor can become loose.
The walls can crack.
Your foundation can sink making the house un-level.
Pipes in the walls can break over time. (like binding a wire back and forth)
For it to be shaking several rooms it sounds like your foundation is already hurting.

your machine is not level. check the feet at the bottom of washer. replace or adjust as needed. Use a level as a guide. it should be fine
