 The rear of these machines are 'self-leveling' in that if the machine is tilted forward and then set back down, the rear feet will take care of themselves. Both of the front feet should have a locking nut on the threaded stem and when the machine is leveled, the locking nuts need to be tightened up against the bottom of the washer. Perhaps the ones on your washer are not correctly tightened.

In addition to the other good suggestions above
The good news is the bang at the end of the spin cycles completely normal for these washers.
You must get the feet level in the front screw them in and tighten the lock nuts as suggested number two level a washing machine with pieces of wood, etc., and expected to run smoothly. They just won’t tolerate that The only thing likely wrong with the suspension system is, if the lower seal on the transmission is leaking oil, the snubber all soaked with oil and the machine will vibrate more than usual, they will usually work this way. I think your main problem is getting the machine sitting solidly on its 4 feet it does not have to be perfectly level to operate well, but it certainly helps. Good luck with the washer , John | ||
