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.

Any ideas on how to stop the shaking?

A load will go through multiple fills. This presents the opportunity to get off balance each time. It should tend to naturally settle in a pretty evenly distributed fashion. If your machine only does the violent shaking every so often, it could be an off balanced load. If it's shaking for most of the loads, there's likely something more wrong.
