You can't tight up the tub. You should replace the damper pads that located beneath main support housing on base's machine. Goog luck !

This problem can be caused by either a leaking water inlet valve, or a condition known as "siphoning". Since you just recently moved, I would make sure you don't have a siphoning problem, first. The following link explains how:

Although siphoning normally refers to a constant drain problem where a washer has problems maintaining the proper water level, it can also lead to problems where the drain line will back up into the washer.
Now, if you follow the advice in the link and determine this is NOT caused by siphoning, I would suspect that you have a water inlet valve that is leaking. A tell-tale sign will be water trickling down the fill tube in the rubber door bellow. The water inlet valves have a diaphragm that is controlled by an electric solenoid. Sometimes the valve becomes clogged with sediment or deposits, causing the diaphragm not to close properly. If you live in an area that has hard water, or use well water, you may have hard water deposits or rust build up in the valve. You may be able to correct the problem by removing the valve and cleaning it with some distilled vinegar. You can remove the valve by following these steps:
1. Unplug the washer and turn off water supply at the taps.
2. Disconnect the water inlet hoses.
3. Remove washer top panel by removing the three screws that hold the panel in place in the rear of the washer. With the screws removed, the panel slides back, then off.
4. The inlet valve (this is what your water inlet hoses connect to) will be located in the left rear of the washer (facing from the front). Remove the dispenser hose(s) from the valve and the electric connections. Remember how the electrical connections are removed. They should be color coded. One is for HOT, one is for COLD.
5. Remove the mounting screws that hold the assembly in place.
Once you have the inlet valve removed, you can place it in some distilled vinegar and let it soak. Just don't submerge the electrical connections. If this does not correct your problem, replace the valve. Searspartsdirect.com and repairclinic.com are two notable web sites that I have frequently used. Just type in your complete model number to begin the parts search.
I hope you find this information helpful. Let me know if you require additional assistance.

Try running a smaller load. Sometimes when you put too big of a load in the washer it will not balance properly.
Sometimes when you have this problem, stop the machine and manually redistribute the clothes so that they look like they are even in the tub and start again.
There are also springs that center the tub in the machine and this could be a problem, but it is not as likely.
There are a lot of distributors of parts online if you need to order parts.
SOURCE: TUB WON'T MOVE , EVEN BY HAND
Drum Bearing or Drive motor have seized
If the drum wont turn by hand you need to take the back off , unship the drive belt and try again
If the drum turns it is the motor that has gone wrong.
If the drum will not trun look at the bottom of the drum backplate , is there rusty watermarks
If there it the centre seal has given up and let water into the bearings, as the water contains soap it washes the grease out and the bearings stick.
Sometime if you give the drum pulley a really hard pull in one direction the bearings will come free
Even then it is a short term measure as they will seize up again by the next wash

Check the tub rollers or wear plates.
