I am experiencing serious thumping during the spin cycle with my Maytag washer LAT9634ABE, even moving the machine on the floor. On checking, clothes do not appear to be unbalanced in the drum. Experience thumping even with small wash load.
When moving the drum back and forth by hand it does not quickly re-centre and it feels like there is friction resistance to the movement. Is this a normal effect of the damper mechanism?
I have removed the front panel and nothing appears broken. Should I try tightening the centering springs? Or does it seem I should replace the damper mechanism?
