Yes you do.You need to put the four bolts back that where hopefully there when you got your washer. yes !
If your clothing is coming out still-dripping wet, the spin cycle is not engaging. Try using a different setting on the washer. When you hear the spin cycle begin to engage, peek into the washer and see if the drum is actually spinning. DO NOT put your hand in the machine and try and start the drum spinning. If the drum does not spin up on its own, then you need repair on the washer. You might also be over-loading the drum. Have it looked at, but it is often an easy fix.

A washer uses electricity to power the motor that turns the agitator (or drum) and pumps out the water.
the loading arrangement used in normal electrical machines is brake drum - spring balance arrangement. This is used to calculate the torque and output power. the formula for torque is 9.81*(diffference between the spring balance) * radius of brake drum. thee output power obtained is 2*π*motor speed*torque obtained
The drum is not moving
The problem with washers, as I'm sure you suspect, is that they are highly likely to have some water inside them, which may cause the development of mold when it is in storage.There are two tricks to this:1. (Obviously) get as much water as you can out of the drum and any of the pipework before you put it into storage. You may need to disconnect some of the pipes to drain them, and tip the washer on its side to empty it. I would certainly suggest opening the washer door and leaving it for a few days in a warm room so that it dries out.2. When you've done as much draining as you can, leave some dessicant inside the drum. You can get solid dessicant online. I would also leave the dessicant inside the drum when you put it in the storage.Hope that helps!
The metal pieces that are mounted to the shell of the drum are called the "Mounting Lugs". The bolts that go into them are called "Tension rods". Usually there is a washer and a "Claw Hook" that the tension rod goes through which fastens to the "Hoop" or "Rim" which holds the drum head to the drum, and tunes it.

Drum lifters, also known has paddle lifters are what agitates the laundry in the washing machine. They are usually large and in the center of a stand up washer or smaller with the newer HE models.
A washer will walk if: 1. it is not level 2. all 4 feet are not putting the same weight on the floor. 3. there is a heavy load like a rug or towels that are mostly on one side of the drum causing the washer to shake. 4. any combination of the above.
The main drum bearing is gone-resulting in the drum drooping. If this is the case, the machine should likely make a heck of a racket when cycling.
