Washing machine shaking violently during spin — Zaandam, North Holland
A washing machine that shakes, walks across the floor, or bangs loudly during the spin cycle is more than a nuisance — it can damage flooring, loosen plumbing connections, and wear out internal bearings and the drum spider prematurely. Common causes include worn shock absorbers or suspension springs, an unbalanced load sensor failure, broken counterweights, or leveling legs that have shifted. An appliance-repair technician levels the machine, inspects suspension components, replaces worn shocks or springs, and checks the drum bearings to restore smooth, quiet operation.
