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.
Top-loaders can be suspended with springs too. The springs connect to metal anchors on the base, and the anchors may each have a plastic insert with multiple notches allowing for different levels of spring tightness. A plastic insert could actually have broken and need to be replaced.
Nope, it’s a top loader. Someone else mentioned springs though so I’ll look into that
