Washing machine shaking violently — San Francisco, California
A washing machine that shakes, walks across the floor, or bangs during the spin cycle is more than a nuisance — it can damage flooring, loosen water connections, and shorten the machine's lifespan. Common causes include worn shock absorbers or suspension springs, an unbalanced drum, failed tub bearings, or simply uneven leveling. An appliance repair technician can diagnose the root cause, replace worn dampeners or bearings, and re-level the unit so it runs quietly.
