Spin cycle shakes whole washing machine

If the drum has an unbalanced load any machine will shake like crazy during high speed spin cycle - some even have a buzzer and shut down! Rearrange the clothing in the drum.

Most likely tub bearings and spider gear are bad.

hi
unfortunately the programmer is faulty

Hi,

Did you remove the transport rods from the back of the unit? this will cause the unit to jump around a lot when it goes into the spin cycle. Also make sure the feet are all level and the unit doesn't rock from side to side.

check to see if the floor is solid and not soft, thin or flexible. are the leveling legs tight? make sure the locking nut is tight and that the leg does not wobble.

assuming it is a front loader. Check if transport bolts are not still attatched. If not, open back cover and look for shocks for breakage or being siszed. Do you have a noise from the drum while spinning and having no load. If so, the bearings need to be replaced.

Most out of balance problems are from the clothes in it. Stop it, move the clothes around - kind of even out the load and try again.

Does the washer go throught he whole cycle and just not spin? Or does it just shut down? If it goes the the whole cycle, You either have a bad door switch or a bad control board. Replace the door switch first. Then the control board 2nd. Door switch is a very common problem with these washer.

THIS IS CALLED A BEARING JOB THE INNER TUB AND THE OUTER TUB HAS TO BE REPLACED THESE PART ARE USALLY UNDER THE MAN. WARRANT BUT THE LABOR IS PRETTY EXPENSIVE ON THIS JOB BECAUSE THE WHOLE WAHER HAS TO BE TAKEN APART

syrny,

Not sure what you did, exactly. First, does the machine shake when spun empty...and then with water only? If so, you have probably failed to tighten something or misaligned something. Go over your work.

No shakes? Rearrange your load. You may have a pair of heavy wet jeans which is throwing the whole thing out of kilter. It only takes about a half pound of sodden clothing to do this.
