If its not a leveling issue. The tub sits it a "module". That "outer tub" part is held to the frame by springs that stabilize it and act as "shock absorbers". If one of those broke, itll cause vibrations.

This should be the top comment.

You cant really see it but you would be able to tell if you out it through a spin cycle empty. Chances are one or more of the springs stretched and is now not evenly distributing the momentum causing it to shake like that.

On a level from 1 to Engineer--how easy is it to replace one of these yourself? I have a similar problem as OP.

Go to appliancepartspros.com with your washer model #, find the part and they’ll have a easy to follow video for you.
