Washing machine started walking
It's a Magic Chef W206K -- I think it was made by Maytag.
After years of good service, it's suddenly started "walking" around the laundry room during the spin cycle. This isn't an unbalanced load -- it's every load, twice; even when it's run through a wash cycle empty. The machine is level; the floor is level. It just started "walking" like this 3 weeks ago.
I've opened the top, removed the front panel and looked around inside. Everything seems to be where it's supposed to be; no sign of missing parts or anything broken. I ran it through a cycle empty with the front panel off and everything seems to do what it's supposed to do except for the violent ending to the spin cycle.
Could this be a problem with a "floating" counterbalance that got locked into place by rust?
Shot springs?
What should I check to figure this out?
Thanks.
