The rear struts have come loose and need re tension this will cause the barrel to come loose due to the barrel not being centered it will not spin at full cycle vortex and leave the cloths some what wet you need to take the top and back covers off and re tension the struts and make sure all 4 springs are well attached..


best of luck

I have a Panasonic NA-140VG3 and the machine shakes violently when in spin cycle. Machine jumps across the floor

How old is the machine? Does it do this every time or only when you are washing certain items. Fabrics like towels and blankets get Very heavy when wet so can cause a lot of shake in a machine.
This might also be an issue with the bearings on the drum. If the bearing is worn it can throw the machine out of balance as the drum isn't staying level as it spins. With the machine empty, open the door and turn the drum by hand. It should turn smoothly and have a small amount of swinging action forwards and backwards. If it feels 'gritty' as you turn it or the drum swings around a lot get a good repairer to look at it.

My front load washer is making a weird noise when it agitates or spins slow and only when there's clothes in it.

A silly one to check is are you over filling the drum with clothes? (Yes, I've done that). Wet clothes are significantly heavier than dry ones.
Check the large rubber seal the door fits into. Make sure it is clean, not damaged and fitted correctly.
When the machine is empty and turned Off turn the drum inside by hand. It should turn smoothly with a little bit of resistance.
Look carefully at the drum as it turns to see if the drum itself is damaged. You might need to CAREFULLY run you hand around the inside edge, nearest the big door seal, to feel for damage.
Listen to the noise it makes as you keep turning it. The sound should be a sort of quiet 'hiss' from the bearing turning.
Try pushing the drum up and down. It should swing a short distance backwards and forwards but not up and down.
If these checks are all OK You will need to get an engineer to look at it as there is possibly something trapped or loose inside the main body of the machine.

My indesit 6105 does not finish with a final spin but everything else works and the drum spins up to this point. This means that the clothes come out very wet

There is fault on the final spin as it fails to dry or drain off the water from the clothes. It is possible that the RPM for the spin is not adequate or the timing is short. Please choose a different program to confirm. Also check for free movement of the drum or else use a de-greaser to the drum spindle bearing assembly.

Banging noise on spin cycle

My beko washing machine was making a racket like this. What it was was the large blocks of concrete bolted to the drum had come loose. Solution was to get a 13mm socket with a bar and extension and tighten them up really hard as far as I could manage. THen the probelm dissapeared no more banging. Worth a try if your has similar blocks attached to outer drum

Off balance, loose drum?

If your machine produces a lot of banging noises when in a permanent press final spin you may be experiencing a broken spider. It is a part which is not made from stainless steel metal, but attached to a stainless still drum (tub spin). So, when it is soaked in water all the time during a normal operation of a washer it creates a galvanic element between a stainless still drum and itself. This results in severe corrosion of the "spider" and then leads to it's breakage. To check if you have a broken "spider" open the door of the washer and try to kick your internal drum back and forward while rotating it slowly.If you will hear clicking noises (metal to metal) in some position of the drum it means that your spider is broken. The replacement of this spider will require complete disassemble of the drum. Most likely you will end up replacing this whole part
Drum assembly, spin basket Part # 131618500Another way is get just a spider part, it's doable, but may be tricky.
Cheers!
