I have an 80 series top loading Kenmore and it shakes violently when it gets to it's top speed on the spin cycle. I made sure it was level but I don't know what else to do.
Make sure you loads are balanced, put heaviest clothes in first... if you can rock it by hand then the legs are not adjusted properly. If you stand 2 feet away from front of machine, jump up and down and see it move the floor is soft and you need 2 sheets of plywood to make 1 1/2 inches put under the machine
You problem could be the same as mine. First tilt the machine over and make sure tub springs are intact.Second make sure you have all you skid pads(my problem), they are very hard semi circle pieces of plastic. They allow your tub to slide side to side, and I don't mean TILT side to side. from the underside of the machine you will only be able to see the two small nipples where they snap through the metal frame.

I did make sure that it is level and it is replacing another washer in the same location and I also ran it thru a full cycle without any clothes and it still did the same thing. I think there are springs that help keep the tub centered. Is it possible that one of them broke or came loose? I purchased it used and the former owner is willing to refund but I would rather avoid loading it up and returning it by fixing it myself if I can. Any more suggestions? Thanks.
