    The problem just started and happens with every load.  Adding pads or balancing the load is not the fix I was looking for.  I think it may be a shock absorber?

    I just want to know if it's large capacity

    Is it large capacity?

At Lowes you can purchase foam rubber pads 4"X5" pack of two for $3.50. If walking forward and after cecking level and washer pads are tight, place half of one pad under each of the two front feet. Place the sticky side against washer feet. Solved my problem.

Shift the load in the washer so it is distributed evenly around the agitator. This is a very common occurence. You probably ran a large load of laundry. My wife has this problem when she runs loads of sheets and bedspreads.

My whirlpool Duet 9750 takes a long time to spin out and has a difficult time trying to balance
I owned a Whirlpool Duet and had spin/balance problems when I washed heavy and light items together. During a deep freeze my drain hose froze. Did everything I could think of until I ran hot water through washer. It took awhile to thaw. If your floor is weak, you will have a lot of vibration and walking. Hope this helps.
