Please see if one of the following will solve the problem. Make sure the transportation bolts and the protective Styrofoam are removed during installation. Transportation bolts hold the drum in place to protect it against damage during transportation.
The Styrofoam is located under the appliance. Pull this tape to free the Styrofoam. Your washing machine needs to stand level and balanced on its feet to function properly. An unbalanced appliance will vibrate and shake during operation. Try rocking the appliance from side to side or back and forth.
Use a spirit level to check the appliance's balance. If it's off, adjust the feet by reaching under your washing machine and finding the lock nuts on the feet. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand.
Your washing machine might vibrate or shake during operation if the load inside the drum is unevenly distributed. In this case, absorbent items such as rugs and blankets are generally the cause. You can tell if the shipping bolts are there in two ways.
The first is to reach inside your washer and press on the inside of the drum. If the drum does not wobble, the shipping bolts are likely still holding it in place, which can cause the whole washer to shake instead of just the drum inside. Those are just for shipping and your washer will shake less without them.
You can often twist or pry them out by hand. Finally, the last reason why your washer might be shaking is the shock absorbers. Every washer has two to four shock absorbers and, like in your car, they reduce the amount of movement that is transferred to the assembly. Shock absorbers allow the drum to spin and shake without shaking the rest of the washer. If nothing else works in resolving your shaking washer problem, your shock absorbers may be broken and in need of replacement. If your shock absorbers are out, this is not an easy DIY repair, as it involves delving into the housing and inner workings of your washer.
