I just moved to a new house, and after setting up my washing machine it now shakes a lot while running, like it moves itself 3 or 4 inches sometimes. It seems to really shake for a 5-15 seconds then runs normal for a while. No real discernible pattern.
I’ve already tried leveling it and making sure the feet all hold some weight, but it’s still happening. It’s an older style top loader with an agitator.
I had the same issue with the same solution after I moved my washer.
I didn't previously know that it's important to clamp the springs when moving a washer, otherwise the springs experience years of wear during one truck ride.
I replaced the springs and had a like-new washer again.
I have a top loaded Samsung washer, and just replaced its four spring rods, which really helped with the shaking and bouncing issues.
I’ll look into that, this is an Amana machine. Not particularly fancy but about 7 years old at this point and has worked great until now
