My washer shakes VIOLENTLY during the spin cycle, in the last four months I have changed the gear case but I haven't done anything else to it. But since then it just bangs around loudly. PLEASE HELP!!!!! :confused::confused:

I cannot get your model number to come up as a valid model, but the generic diagnosis here is a damaged support structure. Look for hairline cracks, and if the model has springs check them out.

Can someone help me with my washer issue? WTW4950XW1...
The tub spins violently when in spin cycle... the springs seem to be in good condition and I can't see any other issue.

This is not something that is easy to diagnose, and almost impossible to diagnose without being there because there can be several causes, and some are not even visible. All I can say is what I said before, check for hairline cracks or some other problem with the support structure. Also check to see that the machine is level.
