I fixed my shocks (suspension rods), by jamming upholstery foam about 2 1/2" thick by 12" square in the corners. It is keeping my machine from violently shaking now. It works very well now. Hope this help others. Make a video and post it. No need to replace the rods!

[@JoseRodriguez-sx9lp]

Thank you very much for your help in getting the washer balancing to back new again 😊. With so little parts compared to the old washers, I was wondering if I needed a new one just being over two years old. But thanks to you that was avoided again thank you so much 😊

[@DIYRepairsNow]

very informative

[@kristyb39]

This is my exact machine. I just removed the tubs to deep clean, due to years of pet hair build up. 😛. Came out beautifully clean. Now its banging as if the devil is trying to escape hell, via my washing machine. It won’t spin all the water out, so my clothes smell…again. I never knew about testing the pump. I’ll do that, then change the shocks.

Thanks!

[@rmaddox3]

Awesome video. Where can I purchase the t handle hook you use?

[@terryhelliker118]

I’ve replaced all 4 rods and even changed the hub but it doesn’t stop the tub from swaying side to side. So when it does a spin cycle it bangs around like crazy. Any other suggestions?

[@dubc4885]

Nice video!

[@DIYRepairsNow]

Thanks!

[@skliros9235]

When spinning the drum empty at full speed, the inner drum don't shake much, but the outer drum shakes a lot. I'm thinking the inner drum is out of round, and transmitting force to outer drum. Does that make sense?

[@user-ps1nf7uk2z]

When finished installing the shocks there is a small cutp about six inches above the shock holder should this be pushed down on the rod ?

[@DIYRepairsNow]

Just leave it where it is from manufacturing 👋

[@user-ps1nf7uk2z]

What is the purpose of this little cup​@@DIYRepairsNow

[@1miltond]

For some reason the last balance code light come on but don't flash they stay all on then after 1 a minute it shuts off and still shaking like crazy and the spring are new if I sit on it it will do the spin but otherwise is like coming apart and course don't finish the spinning

[@Talk-_-Sick]

I changed the shocks and it still shakes violently whats the deal

[@terryhelliker118]

Same here.

[@robertwilson3275]

I was reading up on it myself!! It said the washing machine may bad counterweight spring and damping straps

[@tedthornton7791]

What if it has a wash plate instead of a agitator? How do you manually check it? Thanks

[@DIYRepairsNow]

If You Have a Wash Plate or Impeller Instead of an Agitator, You Can do the Test By Grabbing the Sides of the Tub and Pushing Down. Here is a Video as Demonstration: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIPdk5J5rb-ebrMsi=bANTwAsGaZ1bpI5a&t=41

[@crow753]

Where did you get the shocks from

[@DIYRepairsNow]

Links to All Parts Can Be Found in the Descriptikon of the Video.

[@barcelone1971]

I got the same brand without the agitator, I changed the shocks and still shakes too much, any idea why

[@barcelone1971]

And the transmission is good, no noise at all

[@user-iv3kg2dh4p]
