I have made sure that all the feet are solid and the washer is level. It seems solid with no rocking. I have taken all the clothes out and even with no clothes in the washer it still seems to vibrate more that I would have expected. What should I look for? I am fairly handy if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks much!
