The load has become unbalanced. Pause the machine in mid-cycle (do not Stop it) and when it ceases spinning, open it and re-distribute the load evenly. Then press Pause again to continue the cycle. Note: if you Stop it, then restart when finished balancing, the machine will start washing from the beginning instead of continuing from where you Paused it.
you need to state make and type ( top or front loader ) if top loader , it is most likely that suspension rods for the tub have broken and failed
( indicated by unbalance starting with few or no clothes)
at the bottom of the rods under the tub tabs there is an air and piston type damper around the springs
the top breaks out and the damper action is lost ( cost around $90.00 AUd for set of 4
check the tub level by removing the lint filter assembly and placing a level across the agitator center
front loader is a different failure
To test whether the problem is caused by a fault in the machine, or the way it's being used, run it through a complete empty cycle. No clothes, no detergent.
If it still vibrates under those conditions, call a repairman. If not, then the cause is an unbalanced load. This often happens when dis-similar weight articles are placed in the washer at the same time - such as bath towels along with tee shirts, etc.
If the machine is level and the feet are properly touching the pads it may be a fault in one of the suspension components or it could simply be the way the load is sitting in the machine during spin cycle. Towels get heavy when soaked and if the load is not balanced inside it will make the machine vibrate. Have you tried the machine without any clothes in it to rule that out?
