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?

Depending on how the machine is made it could be a couple of components on the fritz. At a guess I'd say either the belt that turns the drum is stretched from use, or the frame the drum glides on might need replacement.
