washing machine walking

Hi,
I'm hoping someone on here can help.
I have a hotpoint washing machine. When it's more than half full and starting to spin, the washing machine walks itself out at least 4-6 inches from under the worktop. It makes a lot of noise also when it's doing this. As a complete numkin when it comes to electricals, it seems to me that the drum inside is moving about a lot.
This doesn't happen when it's a smaller load.
Do you think it can be mended and would this be something my son could do himself to save me money, or is it time for a new machine?

Ours did that when one of the feet need adjusting. Are you able to rock the machine or is it rock solid?
By adjusting one of the feet and making the machine 'sure-footed' we stop it going on walkabout on every spin0 -
Check the level of the machine as doningtonphil mentioned.0
