My mom's washing machine is moving?

It was washing and it got to the "spin" cycle, then it started getting really loud (more than usual) and even moving a little bit? It wasn't normal. Help?

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.

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 screw in and out. I will really work if you try this.

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)

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.

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