What To Do When Your Top Load Washer Shakes Violently
Do you have a washer at home that’s decided to shake, rattle, and roll? When your top load washer shakes violently, it can make you feel like you’re living through an earthquake. But don’t stress out; by the time we’re done here, you’ll have the know-how to stop that washer from dancing around the laundry room.
What’s Up With My Top Load Washer Shaking So Much?
Before we get our hands dirty, it’s crucial to figure out the reasons why your top load washer shakes violently! So let’s get down to business:
Loads Are Too Large or Unbalanced
Why is my top load washer shaking violently on the spin cycle? The number one suspect for a shaking washer is an unbalanced load. When the load is too full or the laundry is bunched up on one side, it will stop it from evenly spinning and make the drum shake and the washer make loud banging noises.
What to do? Redistribute those clothes inside the drum. Spread ’em out evenly around the middle part – that’s called the agitator. Also, make sure not to overfill it. Give redistributing a shot; your problem could be as simple as that!
