Safety first: Unplug the washer.

Verify the washer is level in all directions. Adjust leveling feet and lock them.
On new front-load installations, confirm that all shipping bolts and transit braces have been removed from the rear of the washer.

Inspect suspension:

On top-load models, remove the cabinet or top to inspect suspension rods and tub springs for stretching, breakage, or oil leakage.
On front-load models, inspect shock absorbers at the bottom of the tub for broken mounts or oil leakage.
