Other than that, I's say Sligo Hornet has the solution.
Short answer: rubber feet.
Hornet's second suggestion might hold the key, funnily enough.
A few months back I was watching telly when I suddenly realised I could hear my one making a right racket from the back room and when I went in to check I found it had made a bolt for freedom and was almost into the kitchen. It had moved about 3 feet!
It's never happened before or since, and in all other ways the machine looks and acts fine, so I can only surmise that something happened with the load to destabilise the spin of the drum.
Hopefully it's only that in your case, if it was a once off.
If it's a regular occurrence then you might also check the drum to make sure all the springs are secure, it may be touching the side of the machine somewhere in the spin.
Did you remove the travel bolts before plumbing it in?Quote:

Why would I want to do that Noby???
Try Calgol , it works wonders for washing machines according to the adverts:)
Washing machines live longer with Calgon! Keeps their HEART ticking!!!!:p
not all machines have travel bolts or the tumbler secured. if it was that then i hope for your sake teh washing machine is still alive!
Well KR - Did the washing machine survive......................?
Washing machine survived so far anyway. Thank ****. These bolts that came from it are bloody huge! Thanks for help!Quote:
