It all started with noticing my washer shake more and more on the spin cycle. Then I noticed a rattle sound. So I took it apart. Found the noise to be the balancer. I replaced the balancer and the issue still occurred.
I then replaced the shock dampers. (Which I think I was sold bad parts from ebay.) The front shocks have almost an inch of wiggle room before they grab the damper or seal. I figured they were supposed to be like that. So I moved on.
I then figured our my washer spider piece that connected to the motor may be bent so I ordered an entire new basket assembly. Which I hooked up and it did not fix the problem.
That is when I started to think maybe it is the shock dampers. I put the test spin on and held the front dampers and it spun fine. So I really think it might be those. I also held the spring and the issue stopped so maybe it is the springs?
The video below I found is exactly what my washer does. But it is not the spider as everything is brand new there.
I really think it is the dampers because when I pull up on them so the inch wiggle is forced down and it can't wiggle up, this fixed it.
I am getting frustrated and don't want to keep pouring money into it so I thought I'd ask on a forum for some thoughts.
My next move is to replace the dampers again from a place like sears instead of eBay. The dude said they were brand new but were super cheap (he is actually trying to sue me for defamation of character for putting feedback about how they were clearly used. They came rusted with screw marks too in opened packaging). Also I was going to buy new spring while I was at it. But the spring seem fine? I've just been without a washer going on two months and can't wait for another part order and then wait for another one. I want to order what I need and fix it . It really seems like the wiggle in the front dampers is the cause.
I really don't think it has anything to do with the motor or drum because if I hold it in place, it works fine. The only thing left I'd what holds it.
Oh and also it only does this on medium spin, once it gets going it runs fine.
Any help or insight is very much appreciated!
