My Washing does fine UNTIL it gets to the SPIN CYCLE , then it moves and vibrates alot.! I've checked using a LEVEL and it perfectly centered....Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Besides an unbalanced load, If the leveling legs are turned out too far from the machine the machine can become top heavy and no matter how solidly and level the machine sits it will walk during spin. Turn all of the legs onto the machine and start from there. The machine does not have to be perfectly level. it just needs to be set relatively flat and not rock from corner to corner front to back, side to side and diagonally. If you turn a leg out and the machine rocks instead of making the mistake that everyone makes and turn another leg to compensate adjust the first leg back into the machine. The farther the legs are turned into the machine the more stable the machine will sit and the less chance of the machine walking even with a moderately unbalanced load.

Washing Machine Moves Around

Check the load. When it is shaking badly lift the lid and let it stop rotating. Chances are that the wet cloths are not evenly distributed in the drum. Things like towels and blue jeans are heavy enough to throw the washer around if they are on the same side of the drum. Spread the wet cloths out and close the lid. That will re-start the spin cycle. If you have evened everything out the violent shaking will be gone. It will still vibrate but should not make a noise.
I am assuming that all four washer legs are firmly on the ground

Chances are you are over loading the machine when you put the clothes in. When the spin cycle starts the clothes are not evenly distributed around the drum and the centrifugal forrce is making the vibration. Enough vibration and the whole machine can start to move.

I had this happen a couple of years ago and after taking the top and back off and fiddling around the engineer eventually found a large nail (out of my sons overalls) had slipped between the steel drum and the rubber seal acting as a brake when the the drum should have been revolving. This might have happened to your machine

Usually it means that more clothes have moved to one side while the machine is agitating the clothes. So you have to stop the machine and move the clothes around so they look more even and start it again. Sometimes it is because an especially heavy item goes to one side (like a throw rug or a big towel).

Did you check the knob where it read SMALL LOAD, M-LOAD, LG-LOAD, it can be you are washing a large load of clothes, but miss turn the knob to the sall-load section, have you try to wash all same type of clothes in smaller amount (less pieces)?
