Try leveling the machine, get a simple bullet level and place it on the top center and level side to side then place the level on any side and level front to back.

LG front loader washing machine 6 years old - has been stored for 3 of those years and moved - now installed and levelled but still getting vibrations when spinning -
Have you removed the shipping bolts that hold the drum in place while it was moved. If not, remove them and the vibration will disappear. If you did not install the shipping bolts when you moved it, there is a reasonable chance you have damaged the machine and will need to have it repaired.

I have just moved my asks w 6551 to a new house and now it's making a banging sound when the drum turns. Is this serious?
Those machines come with shipping bolts that hold the drum to the frame when it is shipped. This ensures that nothing gets slammed around when it is moved. Without those in place, there is a chance that the shock absorbers and springs that align the drum when it is on CAN COME loose and then you have a banging noise when the drum spins.

My Kenmore 90 Series was making a noisy squeaking sound for several washes when we decided to flip it over and take a look. Everything seemed to look ok other than a rust colored spot on the floor. After...
Hopefully you removed the packing bolts on the back of the machine, there is 4 bolts that hold the drum from moving during shipping.

I recently moved and the movers removed two bolts from the back of the machine...should I replace those bolts
No do not replace the shipping bolts. I assume you have a front loading washer. The tub is secured by bolts during transport. Then they have to be removed so that the washer will operate properly without damaging the machine.

Many machine manuals are available online. For example, LG washers manuals are available at their site and under more information for models sold by Home Depot (http://www.homedepot.com/Appliances-Laundry-Clothing-Care-Washers-Front-Load-Washers/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ1xr5Zbv6h/h_d2/Navigation?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053&omni=c_Front%20Load%20Washers). The LG front loading washers use 4 bolts with retainers. If they are not removed, the machine will have severe vibration and noise. The vibration can damage the unit.

I hope this helps.

(if you have an top loading washer, shipping bolts are less common. If you provide the model of the washer, I'll see if it is one for which I know the shipping instructions.)

Forgot to remove shipping bolts from the washer. did 2 loads. did i do any damage to my brand new frigidaire?
Probably not, but I bet it did a little jumping around and floor vibrating. Those bolts just lock the tub in place so that it doesn't fall off the tub hangers.

I left the transit bolts in our "brand new" zanussi washing machine and am afraid to use it as I do not know what damage might have been done.
Highly unlikely any damage will have been done so long as it hasnt been in use for a long time (weeks).

In a front loading washing machine, most of the mechanicals inside are held between springs at the top and dampers at the bottom. The transit bolts are used to minimse how much movement can ocour whilst the machine is in transit as excessive movement could damage the springs/dampers. When they are removed, normal movement of the mechanicals helps keep the machine stable and minmises vibration.

So, the worst that happens when the machine is used with the transit bolts in place is it vibrates alot, and possible moves about.

Remove the bolts as soon as possible and it should be fine.

Forgot to remove shippping bolts before using machine.
I would take out the shipping bolts and then run a prgram such as Spin.with no clothes in

If that sounds ok, wet a few towels and spin them dry

If that works put a full load in and go for it

Unless your machine was way out of balance you should not really have damaged anything.

The transit bolts are there to stop the drum from banging around during transit and unless they have torn free or have bent you should be ok

Installation after moving/ water not going in
In order to move one of the new front loading machines, the shipping bolts/supports that originally came installed with the unit must be in place to prevent damage. At this point you can attempt to make repairs yourself or, if under warranty, calling a authorized repair center for repairs. The warranty will not cover damage due to moving the machine without the bolts/supports, however having a authorized service center make the repairs will keep the remaining warranty intact.

Ginding noise during agitation
From the GE site.....

Front load washers and some compact model washers do not come with a shipping rod. According to the Installation Instructions for these machines there are 4 bolts, 4 yellow plastic spacers, and 4 metal "p" clamps that need to be saved and reinstalled before moving the washer to prevent any damage to the machine.
