I have a maytag SAV3655AWW and it shakes violently every time it is in the spin cycle no matter how many clothes are in it. Also the back legs are loose.I have a maytag SAV3655AWW and it shakes violently every time it is in the spin cycle no matter how many clothes are in it. Also the back legs are loose.
We have the same problem, the back legs are loose and I cannot find a way to lock them into place. I am not sure that this would fix the problem though. I am 6'5" and 270lbs and when it hits spin it will "shake" with me on it (although not as bad).We have the same problem, the back legs are loose and I cannot find a way to lock them into place.

springs (appear to all be) in place, rear self level legs working, mach. is level on firm surface. shakes when empty, sometimes better\worse when loaded. Have tried adding weight to tub but does not seem to help, up to the point where it gets worse. I'm sure it can be balanced better, I just dont know the correct method. I could be wrong.springs (appear to all be) in place, rear self level legs working, mach. is level on firm surface. shakes when empty, sometimes better\worse when loaded.

I have the same problem with a Kenmore Elite. Everything seems to be in place (belt, shocks, etc.). The inner tube spins just fine and the motor does not make any noise. The whole machine just shakes violently.

I just bought a Samsung Silvercare and it shook violently the first time on spin. It's brand new so I don't see how it could be shot bearings. The repairman looked at it today and couldn't figure it out. He's going to report it to the Samsung engineer for futher guidance. The repairman put it into a digital diagnosis that showed the RPM's of the drum when spinning. It started to shake at 245RPM and was out of control by 400RPM. The repairman says Samsung is his favorite washer and that the VRT is so good that it's used on ships where rolling on the high-seas cause other washers to fail.

Just bought a Frigidaire front load, used it twice and both times at the final spin, it spun out several feet from its position, the load is not much at all.

Hi, The inner bearing will be faulty kindly replace the inner bearings as well as water seal before that kindly check whether the drum is freely moving with out any shaking If you find any shaking means you are suppose to change the drum only
Hi you must make sure its level in all directions. ie front to back and side to side. Alos dont overload it. If its on a wooden floor it will vibrate. A concrete floor is the best
very loud in spin cycle can mean a bad rear bearing, not something a homeowner would want to try to replace, parts would exceed 6-7 hundered dollars. you may have some extended part warr through the manufacture. still probly gonna be a 5 hundred when the labor is added in
make sure the transport tie downs have been removed during installation and that all four feet are adjusted properly so machine does not rock.Also make sure your floor is reasonably solid.
Bearings faulty or another fault this model suffers from is the concrete balance weight retaining bolts shake loose, if it is the bolts tighten up as soo as possible.
