I just bought one off a friend because he couldn't get it fixed, He said in the spin cycle it will dance across the floor, even empty. He had a Maytag repairman look at it and he said there was no problem, where do I begin?

It most likely needs shock absorbers replaced. You can go online for your make and model washer. To see how to replace them . It is an easy job and the parts are not very expensive.you can find the parts online also.

are your loads sticking together causing uneaven spin cycle? or is there a bunch of heavy cloths that are not properly seperating?

This model of washer does not have an out of balance cut off switch. If the load is not balanced properly the tub could hit the cabinet sides. If the unit spins evenly while empty & out of balance while loaded, I recommend checking & balancing the load. If the basket spins out of balance while empty, I recommend having the suspension springs & balance ring checked. Be sure not to wash light fabric with heavy fabric clothes. Also ensure that the adjustable feet are level, that's most important.

the machine is not level... put a level across front back sides to check adjust legs leveling bolts as needed.... also is the machine installed on a carpet floor??? if yes put a sheet of plywood under machine so it wont "bounce" on floor.

Try to level machine. Whe empty try to reset back legs pulling machine from rear up front leaning on front legs. Try to balance your load too.

hope this helps... also any parts you require here..

regards..

see if it has 4 adjustable feet on each corner on the bottom
get a bubble level from a hardware store and turn the feet to raise or lower OR you could use something else to raise the sides until it is leveled by looking at the bubble level.

hope this helps
thanks for your rating

Cars, does the basket lean to one side? There might be a couple of issues. The coupler that seats between the motor and trans could be wollowed out causing vibration. Another is that one of the balance springs came off or broke. I'm going to attach a photo of the springs so you can see what this looks like. You can remove the whole cabinet to check things out or tip the washer back and take a look.
