- Already checked this, one of the mount bolds was not attached and the others were all loose. After I remounted and tightened the vibaration and walking actually worsened

- It may also be a problem with the motor, would be best to have it looked at by a repair tech incase what I suggested doesn't work. Possibly the motor, its loose or something is not right in anycase.

- There's a couple brackets inside the machine near the top that help support and guide the actual drum that holds the clothes/water. If one of those brackets has come loose or broken off, it'd cause the drum to act weirdly. Also, the pulley wheel that the drive belt goes on, at the bottom of the drum, may have come loose if the drum can spin the wrong way. .... Read more at

- to stop the vibration
**Take the front cover off and you will find brake pad pieces in the bottom.
Now some say you have to pull the center out to replace the pads...I don't. Here's how I do it..
Remove old screws were brake pads use to be and loose them! Kits comes with new screws that you must use. The transmission will turn free without the brake pads. You will need a 3/8 stubby ratchet. Insert 0ne pad in place toward the front and line up holes with front set of holes in mounting plate. NOW....spin trans around until the pad is near the back set of mounting holes. I use an Allen key to align holes and put rear screws in. Once you get the back one in the 2 front ones are easy. Don't forget to bring a new belt with you!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE:.....You must coat the new brake pads with a little silicone grease
