Roper RAX7244EQ1 Vibrates during spin cycle

Vibrates during spin cycle is putting it mildly. The thing practically walks across my laundry room during the spin cycle.
The washer is almost 9 years old and has been a great machine until recently. Anytime the machine is spinning, it thumps and vibrates and it is not spinning all of the water out of the clothes.
Any suggestions?

Dear customer

Please perform the following checks

This may be a spin problem or a drain problem
Drain:

  • Make sure the drain line is clear
  • Check the drain hose for a partial blockage
  • Inspect the water pump
Spin:
  • Test the lid switch
  • Test the timer control
  • Test the centrifugal switch
  • Test the water level switch
  • Inspect the motor coupler
  • Inspect the drive belt (belt drive only)
  • Inspect under the washer for soot (clutch)
  • Test the motor
  • Inspect the pulley
  • Test the transmission
Please rate this,Thank u

It sounds like the washing is unevenly distributed in the machine, pull some washing up and move it about and try again. I had this problem and this solution worked, hope it does for you too.

My whirlpool top load washer vibrates bad and will walk across the floor during the spin cycle even with no clothes in it. I replaced all the springs, the unit is level. I don't know what else to do.

Check the giant flywheel on the back of the drum. Sometimes, the legs that make it up start to corrode and break. When they do, the drum will wobble.

Our Kenmore Elite front loader vibrates when it kicks into the high spin cycle. What should we do about this?

if located in upper floor laundry room,you may need to compensate a weak floor by putting an absorption pad under all four legs of the washer...if the dryer next to the washer vibrates when washer is spinning,the floor is the problem,not the washer

Spins so harder washer walks across the room. the washer is level. the load is balanced. is it the tub inside the washer that is not level

Engage your lid switch so that washer will spin in spin cycle and watch it spin. At end of cycle when washer shuts down the tub should come to a fairly sudden stop if it doesn't then you need to have the brake worked on. If it does post your model number and i'll advise further.

UNBALANCED WASHER

Does it happen all the time, with no connection to laundry quantity? In case of a positive answer, it sound like a shock absorber issue. Could be that it's moved from its place or become malfunction and should be replaced. Good luck
