i have a GE washer that always seems to bang and clunk badly when it ggets into the spin cycle.it acts just like its out of balance but it usually isnt.the 4 tub dampener straps are not broken but i'm wondering if they might b stretched or weak an allowing the tub to move too much causing the out of balance condition.a local repair shop told me if they arent broke they arent bad an that they do NOT stretch over time.anyone have any ideas or suggestions? getting quite frustrated....lol

the tub nut is tight,i have checked that after each load for approx 6-8 loads. there are four suspension struts and all of them are in their respective cradles.i cant see anything obvious as to why this is happening.the tub sits level,that is the first indication to me that the out of balance condition has not dislocated one of the suspension struts off the hanger cradle.if we drop down to a medium load,the banging does not occur.

i do not have an amp probe,i will however take a look at the motor while its in the spin cycle. i do notice that when it starts to spin,it starts at a slower speed then it kicks into hi spin.when it kicks into hi spin,this is when the bad out of balance condition gets the worst. so far,when doing a large load,the condition is not as bad an the washer is usable.anything larger than a large load the washer is unusable.so we set the selector knob on large an we are leaving it there for now.
