Question about Washing Machines
I have an atlantis serial # 16100596av the washer shakes and vibrates sometimes excessively on the rinse as well as the spin cycle. i hope this is an aesy solution!!
Check the Vibration damper rods to be sure that...
1. They are there and mount is solid.
2. If they are broken in 1/2.
3. The plastic knuckle mounts are not missing/broken.
4. There is oil in the shock absorber/spring section of the rods.
Also - there are suspension springs on the bottom of the tub that could be broken and/or missing.
Replace/repair as necessary.
IF THIS IS A BRAND NEW INSTALLATION - be sure you have removed the basket shipping pins (4) that secure the tub during shipping.
Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.
