Worth it to fix a Washing Machine or buy a new one?

[aphex]

4-5 year old Maytag. It walks around while its washing. Usually its not more than 2 inches from where it started, but it has gone almost as far as a foot when its got a heavy load.

Wouldn't be a huge problem except the laundry closet is TINY, it barely fits. As a result, it keeps knocking the doors off their hinges and is breaking them and the track.

Anyway, how much does a service call for something like this usually run?

have you made sure it is level?

Sounds like the washing machine simply needs to have it's legs adjusted and leveled.

Yes, check all 4 sides.
