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....
Sounds to me like the drum might be floating really loosely inside the machine. It not spinning dead center is gonna cause the weight to be thrown around and move everything.
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.
