Hi, I believe the cause of your washing machine's "rocking" problem is the result of the machine not being properly balanced (on all four legs). Let me explain. On the bottom of your washer and dryer, are four "adjustable" legs. These legs screw up or screw down. If you adjust these four legs so that the washer is perfectly square with your floor, your rocking problem will go away. This should do the trick. Good Luck!

Spin cycle on a Whirlpool washing machine does not work
underneath the 2 solenoids that rock when the motor is running are 2 vertical metal actuating arms. With the lid closed and in the spin cycle this arm is moved by the rocking soleniod actuator that is pulled up by the solenoid when the usnit is supposed to spin. This in turn pulls the actuation arm reaward allowing the spin tube to drop the clitch pads onto the drive plate. If the solenoid is bad or the gliding inverted U shaped solenoid actuator center pin has sheared it will not pull the actuation arm to the rear and the unit will not spin because the clutch pads never are moved onto the drive plate.

My washer is perfectly level but during the spin
if you can make it rock by hand or by jumping the legs are not adjusted proper.it can also rock if the floor is soft... then get thick plywood under the washer ....11/2 inch should be good.you should try to balance the load put heavy things in first

Fixed the clutch. Now has a rock crushing sound when spin starts
Hello askeng,

I would try to fault isolate the noise area by removing the front cover (watch the belt) and start a Spin Only cycle with no clothes in the wash basket. It’s a 10 minute cycle so let the wash basket spin up to full RPM. Do you hear the rock crushing sound? If it sounds like the problem area is the clutch pulley area terminate the cycle with the Off Key. Check for any trace of a water or transmission oil in that area.

If that’s not the cycle causing the excessive noise I would next do a quick wash with no clothes in the wash basket and see if the grinding/rock crushing sound is coming from the tumblers in wash cycle, maybe some change under the tumblers.

When you cleaned/re-lubed the one-way roller clutch bearings how did they look? Did the Spinner Shaft Coupler (I show it in this post) rotate freely CW in both the upper bearing (if used) and the lower bearing? Let me know your findings and if you have additional questions. Rich
