has it always? did you buy it new? Perhaps it is a shipping bracket that

Maytag machine shakes bad. I noticed a ring of what appeared to be
ground up pastic powder under the center of the machine when i tilted
it back. Is the "ground" up pastic related to the shaking? maybe
something has worn out? any ideas? thanks. Bill
