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?

    Are the feet set properly? They usually screw in and out. Try rocking it and see if you can adjust the feet lengths so it doesn’t rock when shaking it.

      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 can’t really solve your shaking problem but my washer shakes a bit (not crazy but it does vibrate the upstairs) so I bought pucks on Amazon and they stop the washer from shaking heavily.
