It is unbalanced, go and open the washer and straighten your clothes to a even balance and them try it again!

It's not level. Either the clothes have all shifted to one side of the barrel or the washing machine isn't sitting on a level surface. Try opening the lid and wait until it's stopped spinning then move the clothes around so that it's about even all the way around, that usually helps. If your floor is warped or crooked you'll have to figure out a way to get the washer to be level.

Let me count the ways== "soft" , weak floors will do this. Off-balanced load of clothes. Center post bearings worn allowing the transmission shaft too much "free play">>on W/P and Kenmore . Un-leveled machine. Rubber "foot cups"missing. Rubber anti-sway straps broken ---- lift deck lid-there are 4 around the tub bolted in==on some washers. Weak or missing hold down springs on some>>Speed Queen,others--these strong springs connect to the bottom of the tub and the base plate.It would help if I knew the "make" of washer>> "Dodge--Ford--or Chevy" Each one is a little different. Maybe it"s time to give that one away and get another "less worn" washer. You can always "bolt" it to the floor to prevent "walking", but you will still get vibrations through the flooring. Move it to another area?? Good Luck.

There is a spin cycle between the wash cycle and the rinse cycle. Your load of clothing became unbalanced. What you can do is stop the machine and rebalance your load and it should stop.
When loading your clothes be sure and balance out the clothes before starting the machine, and don't overload.

It's probably off-balance and not level, however if you live in a mobile home, that might not be the case. It could well be the trailer that's not level. Mine shakes with the washer, dryer, dishwasher, and even the cats chasing themselves down the hall.
Those darn trains & swamp-land are just something that no one bothered to tell me about. Now I have to save up to re-level the house & by that time, I'll need to replace all the appliances because they'll be out of balance by then.
*sigh*

You, my friend, have an unbalanced load. Stop the machine, distribute the clothes more evenly around the drum and carry on with the rinse cycle.

Most likely the load in the machine is unbalanced -open the washer, move some things around to even it out, and then close it up and see if it's better.

The clothes inside are unbalanced. Hit the pause and open the lid. rearrange the clothes and hit resume. If it continues do it again. I have to do this 4 times somedays. It could also mean that the washer is not level.

It's off balance. Shut down and rearrange the stuff in it. One side heaver than the other. Also check level when empty. Adjust "legs" so stable before use.
