My washing machine shakes badly during the spin cycle. Almost to the point that it walks out of the laundry. I have taken the case off and checked for missing parts. Nothing appears to be be missing or bent. Everything really looks pretty good. The brown and white pads are in place and appear to be in good shape. Skate plate is not turned. All 4 springs appear to be good however my basket does lean slightly to the front left but it has for a long time. Pulled the basket out of the tub and cleaned everything out. There was a lot of dirt built up under the basket. I dont know what to do next. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I would try replacing the springs. They can be bad without showing any visual sign of a problem.

The problem here can be a cracked support system, which sometimes you just cannot see, but changing the springs may help.

Great, let us know how it works out. We get a lot of questions like this and they are very hard to diagnose without being there to see the machine, so your experience will help everyone who reads this Forum (and there are a lot).

Okay then you probably have crack in the support structure, one that you may not be able to see.
