Thanks, I’ll take a look. It’s not new and I doubt the movers put them in but could be

No, it’s about 7 years old. It’s worked great until this move. The moving company jammed foam in between the drum and the frame. I’m thinking they may have screwed something up

Yeah I’ve adjusted all the feet and made sure the top is level as best as I can with a 48” bubble level with all feet carrying some weight

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

I’ve tried that, it all ends up floating around anyway. Small items vs big items don’t seem to matter either

Thanks for the idea! Is that something I can go in, recenter, and tighten?

Nope, it’s a top loader. Someone else mentioned springs though so I’ll look into that

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?

The echo chamber will continue. Too easy to surround ourselves with the same opinions all of the time

I say send it back. Safe or not you shouldn’t be stuck with that.

Can you tilt it back and forth? Hear anything rattle?
