Most out of balance problems are from the clothes in it. Stop it, move the clothes around - kind of even out the load and try again.

Why does my washing machine shake on drying mode?

Either the clothes aren't evenly distributed in the machine, the legs aren't adjusted properly and the machine isn't level, or if the machine is really badly vibrating there could be a broken wash bowl hanger/support inside of the machine (it would be very noisy and the wash bowl would twist even during a regular wash cycle)

Admiral washer machine tub appears loose and unattached in rrear

First of all is your machine working or not?
If it is working and it's a front loading machine. The machine drum is hanging inside the machine using strong springs that helps it to reduce vibrations during washing and spin cycle.
When machine goes into spin(dry cycle), it usually shakes a little.

LG front loaded washing machine vibrates during

If its on a pedistal then that will raise your center of gravity and cause the unit to be less sturdy during a spin. It could also be due to a weak floor. You may want to try a product called "shake away pads". The probably sell them at like home depot or lowes. They will run you about 40 bucks but they just go under the legs and help absorb some shock. Good luck _MJ_

Violent spin cycle on the Frigidare front-loading washer

I assume you bought it new, so on that basis, did you remove the transit packing materials inside the machine ?

Front loading washing machine normal design is for the drum assembly to be supported by two or more springs at the top, and two dampers at the bottom. This allows the drum to move in a controlled fashion and also minimises vibration, particularly during spinning.
When the machines are shipped from the factory, transit packaging is put inside the machine to ensure that any shocks to the machine during transit dont damage the springs or dampers. This must be removed before use otherwise you get pretty much the symptoms you describe.

The manual that cam with it will show you how to remove the transit packaging. In such a short time I suspect you wont have suffered any damage, but take the transit packaging out as soon as possible.
