Default Tube gets off balance and washer walks
Brand: Maytag
Model Number: PAV2300AWW
Age: 1 - 4 years

With small loads of sheets and larger loads with jeans the machine gets off balance and walks across the floor. My wife says it did not do this when we first got the machine. I read that the tub should recenter itself if I physically push it to one side, but it does not. It stays were ever I push it to. Could there be an internal problem?

Hi,

You will need to check and maybe replace the snubber.
