Default Washing Machine "walks" several feet

Vibration is a common problem on newer Maytags like yours. You can
try replacing the 6 suspension springs (they come as a kit), or the
white plastic snubber. If the transmission is leaking oil, then you
would need to replace that too. Check your warranty; the trans may be
covered up to 5 years, and if it needs to be replaced, the part itself
would be free. All of these repairs require special tools. Even
installing the springs would be difficult without the spring tool.

Your washer is one of the last designs before Maytag was bought by
Whirlpool. It is no longer produced, but parts are available. Don't
confuse it with the newest Maytag machines, which are rebranded
Whirlpool designs.
