New front load washer jumps and vibrates and makes extreme noise

Is this a new machine that you purchased and installed yourself? Or is this a machine that has worked properly and is now displaying this problem? If new, it sounds as though you may have not removed the shipping bolts that secure the drum. This would prevent the drum's suspension system from being able to absorb vibration during the spin cycle and cause the vibration to transmit to the machine's outer shell. If the machine is older, then the drum suspension system itself may need repairs.

Hi,

First check that the "shipping" bolts have been removed...

When my washer did that, I found that the shocks that hold the tub were bad...

mc not level

Because front load washers are VERY HEAVY, they shake if you have a wooden floor. If your front loader sits on concrete and it still shakes, then you have to make sure all is balanced. If it still shakes, then inside the system there are shock absorbers that need to be checked.

be sure all the shipping materials have been removed ..next adj all feet up as close to bottom of washer as possible ..try rocking machine ..if movement detected adj only foot necessry to firm up washer ..still have vibration suspect floor ..front washers need a good SOLID floor
