Possibly you still have the transport screws in. this causes havoc when load is in. or very unballanced load or possibly spring come loose . assuming you have a front loader. Definately one of those.

My Midea washer spins violently in spin cycle. Please help!

It sounds like there may be an issue with the balance of your washer. When a washer is out of balance, it can spin violently and cause the machine to reset. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Make sure the washer is level: Use a spirit level to check if the washer is level. If it is not, adjust the legs until it is.
  2. Distribute the load evenly: Make sure the load inside the washer is distributed evenly. This will help to keep the washer balanced during the spin cycle.
  3. Check for foreign objects: Make sure there are no foreign objects in the drum or the drum's seal, which may cause the washer to vibrate.
  4. Check the suspension: Inspect the suspension system, which supports the drum and keeps it in balance. If the suspension is damaged or worn out, it will need to be replaced.
If the problem persists, it's best to contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for further assistance.

I have a Panasonic NA-140VG3 and the machine shakes violently when in spin cycle. Machine jumps across the floor

How old is the machine? Does it do this every time or only when you are washing certain items. Fabrics like towels and blankets get Very heavy when wet so can cause a lot of shake in a machine.
This might also be an issue with the bearings on the drum. If the bearing is worn it can throw the machine out of balance as the drum isn't staying level as it spins. With the machine empty, open the door and turn the drum by hand. It should turn smoothly and have a small amount of swinging action forwards and backwards. If it feels 'gritty' as you turn it or the drum swings around a lot get a good repairer to look at it.

Washing machine shakes violently during spin

Hi

If your washing machine shakes violently or if there's a loud thumping noise during the spin cycle, the load of clothes has probably gotten unbalanced. Open the lid, redistribute the clothes in the washer, then re-start it. Repeat these steps if necessary.

The drum shakes violently and is very loud during spin cycle

There are 2 shock absorbers/springs attached to the drum. If one of them breaks it will cause a loud banging noise when you wash heavy loads. This is an easy fix. The part is about $22.00 and it is accessed throught the front bottom panel.

Kenmore Oasis HE shakes violently during spin cycle

Machine legs should be adjusted so that machine is level and standing on all four legs. The load in the machine should be evenly distributed. Utube has an excellent video on washing machine repair.

My front loading washer (ewf272el) spins violently during the spin cycle _ I am not overloading it.

When the wild spinning is not caused by unbalanced/overloaded (wet) clothes in side, the first thing to check is that the washer is propery leveled, with all 4 feet on the ground.

If that is not the problem, on a front loading washer, the next most common problem is failed bearings that turn the whole inside basket.

Please report back what you find, OK?

Samsung P801 Front Loader shakes violently during spin cycle.

When the washer goes into spin cycle it is suppost to start at a slow speed and continue to increase speed (to a maximum of 800 RPM) as the water leaves the clothes. Your washer is going directly to 800 RPM which causes the washer to shake and stop giving you the E4 code. The control board that controls this speed increase must be replaced.

Shook Violently first time on spin cycle

Make sure the washer is leveled properly and all four feet are resting on the floor. If it is level, try running one cysle without any clothes in it to see it is spins without that violent shaking.. you may have also had an out of balance load.. Hope that helps!
