Just checked Consumer Reports online---your Whirlpool is rated only 'Good' for resistance to vibration. CR recommends that only washers rated 'Very Good' or 'Excellent' should be used in second floor installations.
In CR-speak, 'Good' means not-so-good. I think using the word 'Good' for a grade that is basically a C- is misleading, but that's the term they use. My 2010 Frigidaire front-loader is also rated only 'Good' for resistance to vibration, but it sits on a cement floor, so it's as steady as a surgeon's hand. It would probably vibrate/shake considerably installed upstairs in the kitchen. | ||

Did a load... The vibration is not at all bad anymore. It barly moved today during the load we did. I'll have a video up soon of it spinning empty. | ||

Probably some kind of rock/cement board put down to properly back the cement mastic they stick the tiles down with, and the thickness of the mud used. Sounds like they tried to do the tile work properly when the house was built. | ||
