Washing Machine Shakes a Lot When Spinning: Troubleshooting Guide

Common Causes for Excessive Vibration

1. Check if the floor is perfectly level using a spirit level tool; even a slight tilt can cause the machine to walk during high-speed spins.
2. Ensure all four leveling feet are firmly touching the ground and locked in place with their respective lock nuts.
3. Avoid overloading the drum, as too many clothes can clump together and create an uneven weight distribution.
4. Ensure small items like socks or undergarments are placed inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent them from getting stuck or bunching up.

Safe Steps to Try Before Calling a Technician

1. Power off and unplug the machine before inspecting the base or adjusting the leveling feet.
2. Manually rotate the drum to check for any loose objects or foreign items caught between the drum and the outer tub.
3. Verify that the transit bolts (used during installation) have been completely removed, as these restrict drum movement and cause severe shaking.
4. Redistribute the laundry load manually if the machine indicates an 'unbalanced load' error on the display.
