Just bought a new Maytag washer and it's level but during spin cycle it shakes like crazy? Does anyone else have this problem?

The floor is level as well...

    do this at once see if you can get your money back if not hear is the deal the shaft bearings go out the reason is the tub is designed to float when it has water in it the problem is the tubs leak water into them and dont float and shake when they spin or will keep trying to rebalance load and finally they wont ever be able to rebalance load i just got rid of one it was for years old and the maytag repair man was visiting my house more than friends or relatives when your washer is empty try and pick up the tub and spin it see if it is holding water like i said if it is new i would return it asap

    Something is out of whack. If you;re sure the machine is level then it's the load inside. It's becoming unbalanced. This usually happens with real small loads. They tend to migrate to one side during spin.

    Most probably you have overloaded the machine. Check the Capacity of the washer as to how much washing you can load by weight.

    That is a balance issue with the load in the tub. Stop the unit and redistribute the load.

    It shouldn't be a problem unless the load is unbalanced.
