I bought a used washer to be a quick fix for one that had timer issues. New to me washer worked great before I got it, but after I moved it, it shakes really bad on the spin cycle. Is an older top load Inglis brand with agitator. There are 3 springs under the tub equally spaced around, and then 1 spring at the back pulling down. None are broke or unhooked. Machine was tipped sideways on cart during move.
Other than ordering new springs, what could be wrong? Household is not happy with washer issues, and I want to be planting corn not fixing washer (thats why I bought a used one in the first place)
Any chance your using the wrong wash cycle for the load ?
My 2-3 ? year old high efficiency Whirlpool top loader was giving me fits when washing heavy blankets. I was using the" bulky items and sheets " setting. The big blankets would ball up in one side of the agitator and be so un balanced that it would shut down. I would have to cancel the spin cycle , rearrange the blanket evenly and restart the machine. Not happy. :(. After nearly two years of this, I thought to try this heavy load on the "normal" cycle, cant possibly work better, but whats to lose giving it a try. I watched it fill, water, it covered the big blanket. Ok that's good, now wash it and see if the spin works any better. It washed the blanket and spun dry with almost perfect balance. well what do ya know, who would have thunk that. |
