Spin cycle shaking is out of control and vibrates terribly. The rear legs are ok. I tightened the front legs and it sits level.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

There are 3 small brown teflon pads that the washer tub sits on that make slid to & fro to keep it from vibrating. When one or more of those pads wear out or break, the washer will vibrate wildly. tip back washer and look for badly worn pads
