    shaking during spin cycle

  • Romni Feb 29, 2008

    Shakes violently during the spin cycle regardless how large or small the load. I have checked the level this machine over and over again and it doesn't matter.

    My washer doesn't shake - the unit stays still - but when it gets to the final spin the drum in knocking about in the unit and makes a racket. The sound seems like it's coming from the back of the unit.

My Midea washer spins violently in spin cycle. Please help!

It sounds like there may be an issue with the balance of your washer. When a washer is out of balance, it can spin violently and cause the machine to reset. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Make sure the washer is level: Use a spirit level to check if the washer is level. If it is not, adjust the legs until it is.
  2. Distribute the load evenly: Make sure the load inside the washer is distributed evenly. This will help to keep the washer balanced during the spin cycle.
  3. Check for foreign objects: Make sure there are no foreign objects in the drum or the drum's seal, which may cause the washer to vibrate.
  4. Check the suspension: Inspect the suspension system, which supports the drum and keeps it in balance. If the suspension is damaged or worn out, it will need to be replaced.
If the problem persists, it's best to contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for further assistance.

UE Error Code

The UE error code (Unbalanced Error) displays when you wash items that cause the machine to shake badly during the spin cycle, if possible wash and drain the items only, then open the door and stack the items evenly on both sides of the drum in order to balance it, now select the spin cycle.

Final high speed spin very noisey

Something is causing the drum to be way out of balance. Does it bang and make noise when it's spinning empty? Probably not. Is something stuck on the side (inside of course) of the drum, causing it to shake when spinning? If not, a spring or shock absorber (connecting drum to sides, bottom or top of machine) has broken or come loose.

Drum is loose during Spin and Rinse cycle and banging against side of washer

If it is under warranty, call Whirlpool at 1-866-698-2538. If it is out of warranty, try running the washer with no clothes in it in spin cycle. If it runs fine empty, it may be that when you had clothes in it they were not balanced evenly in the tub. If it runs off balance when empty, then a spring may have broken or come off. Contact an appliance repairman.

My maytag washer shake a end of rinse cycle.

After the rinse cycle, the washer rapidly spins the tub to get as much water out of the clothes as it can. It works basically the same way as a salad spinner. If the weight of the clothes in the washer is not balanced, the washer will shake and maybe even jump around during the spin cycle. This is pretty normal. If all of your jeans end up on one side, and your t-shirts on the other, the jeans will hold more water, their side of the tub will be heavier, and the washer will shake a lot during the spin cycle.
If the washer is shaking too much, open it after the rinse cycle (wait for the tub to stop before reaching in) and spread the clothes out evenly in the tub. Try to balance the weight. Then close the lid/door and let it continue spinning.

During the lest spin cycle ,the drum spins like its out of balance, with bad knock , viberation. even after making sure the load is balanced in the drum. even without a load or water, (empty) it still...

The machine sounds as if it might be unsteady. If it only happens on the spin it is probably slight. Try levelling it at the feet, using a spirit level helps enormously to get it level.
