If you have bought a washer and it’s shaking during all cycles - read our article. We have collected possible problems and solutions for them. This article is dedicated for those who has Whirlpool wtw4816fw2 and similar models.
First. Washer load is unbalanced. If you loaded the washer with heavier clothes on one side, or if they shift to one side of their own volition, the load becomes unbalanced. Unbalanced loads are especially common with large or bulky items, especially if the load is small. The solution is simple: open the washer and redistribute the load. If you don't untangle and rearrange the soggy load, the washer adds water and swishes the clothes around in an effort to correct the problem. After a set number of tries, it gives up and stops the cycle.
Second. Adjust leveling legs. All four leveling legs should have full contact with the floor. To check, place your hands on the corners of the empty washer and rock it slightly side to side. If the washer rocks, adjust the legs.
Third. Flooring is weak. Above-ground floor installations or pier-and-beam foundations may not offer adequate support for some washing machines, particularly washers with a high-speed spin. Securing a sheet of 3/4-inch plywood to the floor under the washer base sometimes resolves the excessive vibration.
Fourth. The problem might be that components that stabilize the washer have broken. Possibilities include suspension springs, balance rings, snubber pads and shock absorbers. Inspect these parts and replace any that are broken.
