GE WBHV5200J3WW shakes during spin cycle with load in the machine

Spins fine with no load. No loose springs, spider pulley fine, motor pulley fine. Basket spins freely by hand w/o noise. Spins at 1000rpm w/o load, but with any load it will not spin over 700 rpm and shakes pretty bad.

    does the washing machine spin at 700mph or 1000mph what is then

  • Anonymous Jan 29, 2013

    With no load it spins at both 400rpm and 1000rpm in t11 test mode. when I put clothes in the machine, it will spin at 400rpm while shaking moderately, but when you increase to 1000rpm it begins to shake pretty violent and will not go past 800rpm before shut down.

    can you make a video of the unit to tell me what is the problem then is that okay with you

  • Anonymous Jan 29, 2013

    No video capabilities. With any load it shakes like a washer with a severely unbalanced load. Without a load it spins fine. When you shake any of the dampers the whole tub moves a lot, but the springs look to be in place. I was trying to remove the front panel to check the counterweights, but I can't seem to be able to remove the control panel cover.

  • Anonymous Jan 29, 2013

    and the Rear Counterweight looks like this

  • Anonymous Jan 29, 2013

  • Anonymous Jan 29, 2013

    okay then do they work the right way then

  • Anonymous Jan 29, 2013

    They SEEM to be tight, I can't check the front top CW because I can't remove the front panel until I figure how to remove the control panel cover

  • Anonymous Jan 29, 2013

SOURCE: Grinding sound during agitation cycle on my Maytag Performa

Its probably you stator plate and rotor. But you need special tools for this repair. There a spring that is under 200 pounds of pressure and if you take the screws off that hold the plate its going to fly into you face if your dont use the special tools to depress the spring. Is it more of a clanking kinda of noise? DOes it olnly happen with heavy loads? Try this out. Fill the washer with water only. and get it into a wash cycle with water only. If there is no noise then put in like a load of towels. A heavy load. Now if you hear the noise now then its for sure you stator plate and rotor..hope this helps, but like i said you need those special tools to do this repair or injury can result from the spring part.

If the washer has a mechanical (motor-driven) timer, I'd suspect a problem with the spin-direction motor contacts.

Hi

for the question of water comming in the spin cycle, yes its normal we call it a spray rinse. For the shaking check your leveling and also make sure that the back leveling feet when lifting back of washer up and down that the foot mechanism is functining.

GE WASHER SPIN OUT PROBLEMS

Sounds like the suspension for the drum is having problems - there are usually springs holding the drum up and acting as shocks - one of the springs may have come off during an unbalanced load.

Bad shacking during the spin cycle

Remove top of machine and check the centralising springs are still attatched. If springs ok tilt machine against the wall after unplugging from the wall socket and check the shock absorbers. One of them could have jumped out of the guides. If shockies are ok, check the spider for cracks/breaks. The spider is the cast part that holds the outside drum in place. To check this you will have to remove the back plate.

GE WSM2780W Stacked Washer spin cycle

With no clothing in the wash tub take the following steps:
1. remove the front cover from the wash tub
2. run a full cycle of laundry and observe the tub's behavior

Potential Solutions:
A. If the tub begins to shake wildly during a full wash cycle with no clothing in it then you will need to adjust the 3 large springs on each side of the tub until the unit is working in a more-balanced position. This is simple to do by hand. If the tub appears to be shaking too far forward, then unhook the 2 large springs in back so they are tighter. Then run a full wash cycle again with no clothing.
* note: there are smaller springs too - you don't have to adjust these to fix your issue

B. If the tub works fine with no clothing during a full wash cycle, then try to load your clothing in a more balanced fashion. For example: if your wash load is only a small kitchen or bath rug then when the unit spins it will spin off balance with a wet & heavy item on only one side of the tub.

C. If you'd like to replace the 3 large springs, I can get you the part numbers. There are specific springs for both sides of the wash tub and they are different part numbers. The full replacement of the 3 large springs can be done by hand.

thanks,
Chris I.
