If you are unlucky the bearings are gone or the spider is shot. Open the door & check if there is any up/down slack then spin the drum by hand & listen for any rumbling/grinding sounds (may pay to remove the drive belt first). Other candidates could be; broken/defective shock absorbers - failure to drain properly (unlikely if you checked the filter/pump) - washing a single or heavy item (unbalance) - or a speed control problem (pcb or tacho issue).
