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.

Open washer's cover and look for a released or a malfunction shock absorber. Good luck!

The best way to fix this problem is to adjust the front legs while the machine is spinning a full wash load. Put in a load of clothes and run the machine to get the clothes nice and wet. It will take about 5 minutes to get them completely wet. Next, turn the washer off. Now, turn the washer back on and push the spin button to select the extra fast speed. You washer will go into a drain mode and then begin to toss the load into a balance spin mode. Once the washer is spinning the clothes, check the balance of the unit by pushing the front left corner of the washer towards the right rear corner and right front corner towards the left rear corner. If the sound of the washer quiets down on one side vs the other side, adjust the front leg to quiet that side. Do not attempt to adjust the rear legs as they do not require adjustments at all. Everything adjusts on the front legs.
This procedure works if the floor is sturdy enough. If the floor is old and the wood is weak, it will not work.

Hi,
I had same problem, the bowl is supported by (2) large springs from the top & two telescoping shock absorbers underneath.
I inverted the machine, found a large hollow retaining plastic bolt had falled out of the shock absorber,causing the bowl to be out of balance & the drive belt to be missaligned.
I reinstated the plastic retaining pin/bolt then tried the machine again.
Now the damn thing refuses to wash or spin.
I'm not happy.

We had the OE message come up and did the above procedures...that didn't fix it. I removed the dual pump modules (they come off in one piece...one is the recirculating pump, the other is the drain pump). Turns out, the drain pump impeller design sucks. Even though it turned when I put power to the pump, that doesn't mean your pump isn't bad. Once it is under load pumping water, the impeller can slip where the pin connects to it from the motor. We replaced the motor for $60 and that fixed the problem. Our unit is at least three years old and we have a family of four, so it does get used quite often. Nobody told us about the filter at the bottom of the unit and I figure if we knew this ahead of time, we probably could have avoided the impeller issue...but it is still a sub-par designed motor/impeller. The new one I ordered looks like an updated design so I don't see this happening again. It is quite easy to remove and replace the pump, btw.

What's the exact model of your washing machine? I'll need this to get you exact part numbers.
If you're looking for a quick and cheap fix that works. Try installing a rubber anti-vibration pad under the washer. I've had the best luck with a pad called Silent Feet. They are pretty hard to find in stores but Amazon.com carries the full line of Silent Feet anti-vibration pads. They will provide you with the best results short of replacing the full shock isolation assembly in the washer. And they cost a lot less.
