Washer vibrates in spin mode. I made sure the machine was level, ran it without water or clothes in spin mode and it still vibrated too much. Aren’t there springs that control or dampen vibration? How do you check them? Is there anything else that can cause excessive vibration?
Pull the front panel and check the springs. If ok and you observe white plastic shavings on the bottom near the tranny dome, you have a bad snubber that needs to be replaced.
Thanks, I will get on it and let you know what I find…
RichHappy,
I have inspected the machine as you directed. All six springs are in place and appear to be in good shape. Although I am sure I do not see the snubber directly there is a layer of white dust (I cannot call what I see savings) all over the bottom and splotches of white residue on the drain hose in the back of the washer. My feeling is that if the subber were ok there would be NO white residue/dust on the bottom just dust?
So if you concur and feel the snubber should be replaced just how is this done. I am mechanically quite adept but have never replaced a “snubber”. Directions would be helpful…Poppi68
Go to my response to the “quirkey spin” on page two of washer repair. Any questions, just please ask.
It is a done deal!!! Part arrived this morning a couple of hours ago and I just finished testing - she is ready to go. Thank you for all the help, it made it really easy…
Glad to see it worked out, I really appreciate your response.
