My issue was rebalancing the tub, and while I’m not completely sure on how to fix it, that’s a good guess on what it is, but try to run it with no clothes in it, and see how it behaves. Mine with no clothes in it shakes around a lot, so that might be the problem. |

The machine started doing it over time. If the load is small there is no issue. |

Be sure all four feet are turned into the washer as far as possible yet allowing the washer to be level and all 4 locknuts are tight against the washer base.
The other likely cause is dry or shot damper pads, take the washer front off and check, if you see the dreaded Black Dust you have a big problem.
