Isn't this the line that had consequent problems with the shocks? Anyway, vibration problems like this usually mean either one of the springs detached (which is unlikely as then the drum wouldn't be level any more), the shocks are bad (most likely) or bearings\spider are broken. The shocks are pretty cheap and relatively easy to replace. | ||

Am going though sort of the same thing.
Best case it is your shocks that are going and or perhaps the suspension springs. Worse situaton would be the bearings.
Take the top off the washer and attempt to push down on the drum (carefully) with much force as you can. There should be ample resistance and if there isn't (the tub sinks with little effort), chances are good one or more shocks are going or gone. Another clue would be to check the inside of the glass port-hole. If you see marks/dings (caused by the drum smacking the class), again a good sign shocks are gone. To test the rear drum bearings grab the inner tub at lower and top (Six and Twelve O'clock) and attempt to shake hard; you should have nil to minimal movement. Also turn the empty tub from the inside. If the inner tub has play up or down/left or right that is sign the rear bearing is going or gone. This and or if the drum makes a growling/grating sound when spun empty by hand. If the back of your washer comes off do so and have a look. Should you find rusty water trails coming from around the rear bearing and or traces of same around underneath then again that is a sign.... Personally would test/check the bearing first to eliminate it as the source of your problem. Only because if indeed that is the problem it is of no use replacing the shocks even if they have gone or are going. Well shouldn't say of "no" use as persons have used front loaders with failing rear bearings until the thing literally died. This assumes however you probably are going to rubbish the thing after that even. | ||

It may be possible that the concrete weight or dryer duct have come loose. It does sound pretty bad though! | ||
