2008 MAYTAG NEPTUNE FRONT LOADING WASHER. THIS WASHER IS SHAKING MY HOUSE APART. YES THE WASHER IS LEVEL AND SITTING ON TILE FLOOR. PLEASE HELP
I have the exact same washing machine with the same problem. It is a poor design and Maytag knows it. We should be entitled to a refund. This was a very expensive machine.
Hi..Chances are you are over loading the machine when
you put the clothes in. When the spin cycle starts the
clothes are not evenly distributed around the drum and
the centrifugal forrce is making the vibration. Enough
vibration and the whole machine can start to move.
check it out..
thank u..
rate me..
Front loaders are prone to vibration problems. Don't want to go into the technical details of why, but it's important that they're placed on very solid surface (preferably concrete or tile), and checked that their feet have been adjusted so that the machine is level. Unfortunately, most people don't have a concrete pad for their washer. One simple option to consider is to provide dampening of the vibrations. This can be done very simply as this one fellow demonstrates. The main thing to keep in mind with this solution is that it is merely trying to dampen the vibrations. Don't be too forceful in your own solution (think lightly touching the top of a vibrating tuning fork with your finger to stop the tone).

I have the same problem and have had the repair men here 3 times this week. After killing my back for months shoving the machine back or holding it. They have suggested new shocks or a deal on a new washer.
My washer is on a tile floor the same floor it started on new four years ago, yes it shakes more with more clothing in it , but this was an expensive machine made to hold big loads.
I have also noted that if you do not leave the door open you get a nice musty smell. This was my first Maytag appliance-glad to say my last!!
