All front loaders shake to some extent. It depends on the balance of the load. It is especially evident in the spin cycle due to the high speeds. Also these machines are best placed on a solid cement floor. They can shake an entire house if on the first or second floor and the floors are not well reinforced.

one of the shocks may have broken, usually there is 4 of them, holding the drum to the housing. other thing is to make sure agitator in drum is not loose, to get to scerw remove softener dispenser. this info is for top load machine, as model was not specified

cement counterweight inside case might have come loose or fell out

Wow...does it sound like it's about to take. You can hear it all over the house even with the door to the room closed? We have the same reason. THis started after a bout of lice in the house and we were doing many loads a day for a while. Help!

remove the shipping material...read install instructions that came with owners maneul

I have not heard of the machine damaging floors. the new front loading machines do spin at a high rate of speed. It is so fast that if it is not on a solid floor it will shake the floor. I have been in homes that have a front loarder on the second floor and it literally shakes the whole house. This is why this machine should be only on concrete floors.

Is your floor level, first thing. Okay, the rear 2 legs are not adjustable so leave it. The front 2 legs should be screwed up (ie the machine should be at the lowest level in front) and there are check nuts to tighten inside the body of the machine. Check the machine it it rocks by using your hand against it. Adjust accordingly, this is if your floor is not too good. You shd not hv any problem. If the rocking persists check inside machine, behind after getting he plug off wall, maybe shockabsorbers hv come off, springs?.....

and rate me please if helped.............

Try placing it on a rubber mat or carpet that has a rubber backing. The floor may be too smooth and allows it to walk.
