First, check the feet and make sure they are firmly planted on the floor. I don't think the Hotpoint or GE Flo models have a balancing mechanism. They use a heavy brick instead! NorfolkSouthern | ||

While you're at it, find a carpenter's level and make sure the machine is level, using those same adjustable feet. Usually on later GE's and Hotpoints, the back pair of feet were "self-leveling" so only the front ones can be adjusted. If you live in an old wood-framed house, though, sometimes the floors of some rooms are just too "bouncy" for these machines and they're going to rock and roll and make noise whatever you do.

Tub
Is the tub supposed to wobble so far out of whack as well? The whole tub gyrates when it does this. It's a newer style Hotpoint, towards the later run of the Rim-Flo with the black consoles. It has the double-agitation handwash thing as well, seems to be a nice machine, but I'm not familiar with how these work. It has a large cement chunk in the bottom though. I'll try to mess with the legs and see if that helps. Can I open the top and see anything? If so, how do you open the top panel? -Tim | ||

Took a quick video
I took a quick snap of the machine doing it's "thing". Figured out how to open the top (easy), may need a new top tub seal, but I'll see if leakage is an issue. There is a cable suspension along the front and right edges and looks like the majority of the "movement" is actually in the drive mechanism? It's a big ole tub that is fixed to the cabinet, and the inner-tub moves. It's weird. -Tim CLICK HERE TO GO TO macboy91si's LINK | ||
