Make sure that the washer legs and the tub are balanced. Also, do not overload the washer. Other than that, there should be no other problems.

If load is wrinkled the load may have set in the washer to long it is recommended to remove wash as soon as it stops or the load was too large for the washer capacity. Loads must be balanced and move freely during washing. Also using too much detergent could cause the deposits on clothing. Using an he ( high Efficiency) detergent might help. Using delicate or another cycle with low spin speed will reduce wrinkling.hope this helps
There can be several causes, the drum off balance would cause the shavings during spin cycle , balance could be one of the the balancing mechanism failed and not running could be the balance sensor shutting down the spin cycle.
You should start by checking the balance shocks .
i just got a used whirlpool washer and as soon as it went on the spin cycle it started shaking bad! i adjusted the legs and moved the clothes around evenly! still doing it?? i would like some advice please!!!!!!!!!!
The shock absorbers that hold the tank are broken. Then the load will move the washer all over the place.
Look online for an exploded diagram and order the new shocks for it
its probably because of the way the clothes are in it. you have to make sure the clothes arent leaning to one side and that they are evenly set up. otherwise when it goes into the spin cycle itll lean and hit the side of the washers inside and make it shake and do what you said it was doing.
It will not spin while washing, it's more of a rocking back and forth. As far as the spin cycle. If it's not reaching full speed I bet you'll notice that it's not doing the full cycle because the load is bouncing around and cause the washer to shut off. take some of the clothes out and watch it spin the water out.
Sounds like the switch which cuts the machine off when the load is unbalanced. My guess is that:
This switch is being triggered too easily
The springs holding the bowl up are either stretched or one is broken;
The machine may not be level.
