Answer 7

Answer 8

lol

Its off balance. All you need to do is make sure you dont have to many clothes in it, and fix them to where they look level

Answer 9

that happened to mine before

i figured that there was too much things inside

and that i didn't spread all the clothes out like equally distributing the clothes around the washer

Answer 10

it needs to be balanced put something under( feet) to stop it moving or you've overloaded it.

it will right its self after a few washes

Answer 11

the load is unbalanced.  open the lid and try to distribute the clothes more evenly.

Answer 12

It could be off balance. When its off and empty check to see if it rocks when you touch it. Its it wobbles try making it stable so it wont move. Also sometimes when a load of clothes inside it can all shift to one side and throw the washer of balance. Next time it happens try stopping the machine and moving the clothes around.

Answer 13

It is off balance. Try moving the clothes around inside. There were too many clothes on one side of the washer that makes it do this.

Answer 14

You made it sound like it was moving around the house all crazy like. I was worried.

It probably just has too much stuff in it or it's all gathered on one side. Be careful though, if it keeps being overloaded with clothes it's a sure fire way to have to go buy a new one.

Answer 15

you probably put waay too much clothes in it so it has to work harder to wash them and such

Answer 16

Normaly this happens when the load in the wash is all on one side of the machine. when in wash mode, the clothes are floating and the weight is distrebuted eveny. once the water is gone, the clothes sometimes end up on one side causing one side of the inside bowl to be heavier than the other. Quick fix is to stop the machine and spread the clothes around evenly. (Sorry about the spelling)

Answer 17

The clothes are unbalanced.  Meaning more on one side of the washer than the other.  Go equally redistribute the clothes, it will stop.

Answer 18

It needs to be leveled, adjust the small feet on the bottom. Use a level on top until it shows level, no matter how much or how little clothes in the washer it should not move.  Adjust one foot at a time. If the clothes get off balance it will make some loud noises because the tub inside is turning wrong but it will not move. You will need a tool to help turn the feet they s***w in and out. I will really work if you try this.

Answer 19

IF it is moving, then you simply need to twist the small feet to level the machine.Not all of them ,just one or two that are short that are not touching the floor .

Answer 20

It's "unbalanced" Just open up the lid...wait for the washer to stop all the way...try to rearrange the clothes so that it's not more heavy on one side than the other. You might have to take something out.

Answer 21

Its because your wash load is not level.  When you hear the loud noise and notice its moving open the lid and move the clothes around a little then try it again.  Keep doing it until the loud noise goes away.  You might have to spin it more also, because not all the water will come out.  Also, try not to put so much clothes in the washer next time.  I had this same problem with my mom's washer.  If you don't level your clothes it can ruin the washer.

Answer 22

all washing machines do that.

just don't over react when it happens again

and the spin cycle doesn't last that long anyway.

Answer 23

Its not normal. Stop the machine. The load is unbalanced. Shift the clothes around in the machine to balance the weight evenly. Restart.

Answer 24

If its the 1st Time I wouldn't worry about it, if it keeps doing it I would get it Looked at.
