Possible Causes

Load out of balance, Worn suspension rods or dampers, Faulty speed sensor, Drive motor issues

Safety first: Unplug the washer before internal inspection.

Rebalance load: Open the lid/door, redistribute clothes evenly, and remove heavy items if necessary. Run a spin-only cycle.
Check leveling: Ensure the washer is level front-to-back and side-to-side. Adjust feet and lock them in place.
Inspect suspension: If the tub bounces excessively when pushed down and released, suspension rods or dampers may need replacement.
