My Bosch washing machine is 21 years old and going well but had slowly
become very shaky. These things progress gradually (like age!) so I
didn't notice until one day the thing was trying to waltz around the
room and a round tuit arrived. A look inside didn't reveal anything
broken but, after a bit of google'ing, I thought it might be worth
replacing the three dampers. These things look like shock absorbers but
they are just a cylinder that slide inside another, with only friction
damping. Wow! A cheap and easy fix that has made a huge difference.
I hope this helps someone else who has a dancing washing machine.
