Feet Kenmore

My Fridgedaire Gallery Washer walks all over the floor on the spin cycle!?
This is the third replacement and now we are out of warranty, OK I know now - it's a POS. Anyway - This is a fairly new problem - I have tried adjusting the feet levelers - I've tried bouncing it (works on Kenmore models) The basket can be moved from side to side with your hand and it must be loose although they say that's the way it's suppose to be. It walks almost all the time and no it's not overloaded and yes my floors are level. There must be a way to get it to stay level. It's ruining my floor as well.
I've been using this washer or at least the same model for three years and this is a new problem. I still wash the same things in the same quanities. I was hoping someone may know a way to get it back into level. My floors are solid and level.
When "leveling" your washer you are making the same mistake that many others do. Start with the leveling legs turned all of the way onto the washer and only turn them out if needed.
The mistake that everyone makes is they keep turning the legs farther and farther out of the machine until the legs are so far out the machine becomes top heavy. When this happens it does not matter how level or solid the machine is it will walk all over the place.
With all of the legs as far into the machine as you can get them, try to rock the machine from corner to corner diagonally. If it is rocking adjust one of the legs out just far enough to stop the rocking. If you have turned it out too far turn it back in slightly. Don't adjust the other leg out to compensate for the over adjustment because if you keep doing that you will be back to where you are now.
Once you have the machine sitting flat and not rocking tighten the legs in place with the nut on each leg so the setting will not change.
