Please see if one of the following will solve the problem. Make sure the transportation bolts and the protective Styrofoam are removed during installation. Transportation bolts hold the drum in place to protect it against damage during transportation.
The Styrofoam is located under the appliance. Pull this tape to free the Styrofoam. Your washing machine needs to stand level and balanced on its feet to function properly. An unbalanced appliance will vibrate and shake during operation.
Try rocking the appliance from side to side or back and forth. Use a spirit level to check the appliance's balance. If it's off, adjust the feet by reaching under your washing machine and finding the lock nuts on the feet. Tighten all lock nuts again by hand. Your washing machine might vibrate or shake during operation if the load inside the drum is unevenly distributed. In this case, absorbent items such as rugs and blankets are generally the cause.
Place your level flat on top of the control panel near the back of the machine. If the bubble is centered, your back legs do not need to be readjusted. There may be a little rust or dirt stuck in the self-leveling joint.
If your control panel is round on top or set at an angle, place your level directly in front of it. Use the same process you used with the front legs to adjust the back legs. Use the level to determine which leg is higher. Lift the machine up a little bit and slide a piece of wood underneath. Adjust the higher leg in the back to make it lower using the same bolt and tools that you used on the front. If you tilt your machine and discover that your back legs are indeed self-adjusting, lint and rust may have built up on the rear legs to keep them from moving.
Tap the exposed legs lightly with the back of your wrench or channel locks to shake the rust and dirt off. Lower the machine and try running an empty cycle. Remove the wooden block and lower your machine back down. If it continues to shake, you probably need to replace the shock absorbers. Method 3. Contact your manufacturer and order some replacement shock absorbers.
They also connect the drum to the frame of the machine. There are either 2, 4, or 5 of them depending on your model. The model and brand are usually listed on the front, but they may be printed on a metal plate on the back of the machine or inside of the door.
Some newer models require a professional to install new shock absorbers. Disconnect the water and turn off the electricity.
Find the supply lines for cold and hot water on the back of your machine. Twist the valve on each line so that it is closed. Turn the electricity for your machine off by unplugging it. The water lines are usually thin and made of rubber. They often have a blue and red valve on top of them near the connection to the frame. Remove the front panel for a front-load washer. Usually this involves removing the rubber seal around your drum and unscrewing several screws under the panel before lifting it up.
Hook it back into the center of your drum and put the machine back. This was causing the noise and shaking. Unscrew the shock absorbers with a wrench or channel locks. Find the shock absorbers by looking for rods connecting the drum to the frame. Unscrew the bolts connecting each rod to the drum and frame.
Remove your rods and set them aside. They may not appear to be broken, but the inner coil in one of these absorbers may be broken. Some shock absorbers have pins locking them to the drum and the frame. If any of the pins fell out, simply slide them back in. This was probably the cause of your shaking. If you have 5 absorbers, 1 of them is probably in the back. You may not be able to reach this piece without professional assistance. Insert your new shock absorbers and tighten them.
Put your replacement parts in the corresponding locations. Reinstall the panels and run a test wash. Put your panel back and screw in the corresponding screws. Put the rubber seal back and open your water lines. Plug the machine in and set it to run a basic wash cycle.
If you hear rattling inside the machine, you probably missed a bolt for a shock absorber. Replacing the drum in a washing machine is often not worth it, and you should consult a washing machine repair company to determine the price of the repair. It is not typically a problem that a non-professional can solve. What should I do if my front-loading washing machine is stuck in the rinse cycle?
The rinse cycle is the point in a wash where the machine utilizes cold water. If your machine keeps running on the rinse cycle, it's a sign that your cold water connection is clogged and your machine keeps running while it tries to pull in enough water. Close the connection on the water supply line by turning the valve and remove the line to see if it's damaged or clogged.
Either replace the line or remove the blockage to see if that solves your problem. Not Helpful 0 Helpful 4. Is the electricity on?

Yes No. Voted Undo. Score I think I found it, but all springs appear to be in good condition. Any other suggestions? If washer vibrates without clothes in it , most likely the inner drum spider is broken.
Chosen Solution. Support Bracket Washer vibration can occur if the support bracket is broken. Shock Absorber Washer vibration can occur if one or more of the shock absorbers is broken or worn out. Use a prybar and a piece of wood to lift up the front of your washer. Then extend or retract the front feet until the front is level. If the back feet are self-leveling, tap them with a wrench to help them adjust. If they are not self-leveling, then manually level the back feet as well. Load balance can also play a part in washing machine vibration.
Load balance is especially important for top-loading washers but even front-loading washers need a relatively balanced load to spin evenly. When the fabric in the washer drum is unbalanced, the drum will wobble when it spins. This wobble applies an uneven centrifugal force which can shake the entire washer. For a top-loading washer, you must make sure that the fabric of about the same weight is distributed all the way around the center column.
For example, lay towels in a circle so that there is never more towel-material on one side than another. If you are washing only one or two items, add a few towels or shirts to even out the load.
For a front-loading washer, evening the load is your best bet. A more complete load is best. Wash several items of similar weight with each load. And, of course, try to avoid overfilling your washer. Washers do tend to wiggle a small amount when the drum spins, especially during high-speed spin cycles. This can be considered normal, but it can also be unpleasantly noisy or shake nearby objects.
