I have an old Whirlpool Duet washer from 2004. All of a sudden it decided to do the roomba and dance all over the floor while making a racket every time I used it. A quick Google-search indicate it's most likely an issue with one or several shock absorber. So I buy and replace all 4. One was definitely broken and the other three seemed very worn. The hardest part is getting the front and back cover off the washer, replacing the shock absorbers just require a little strength and some simple tools. Now my old trusty washer runs as smooth as silk. Oh, and I'm a 40ish woman with weak joints, if I can do this,  you can too!
