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?

    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

      Some washing machines have springs to help dampen rocking. They may have disconnected one or more
