1. Understanding the Causes of Shaking

When your washing machine starts shaking violently, it’s usually a sign of underlying issues, such as:

  • Uneven Load Distribution: If your laundry isn’t evenly distributed inside the drum, your washing machine may become unbalanced during the spin cycle, causing it to shake.
  • Improper Installation: Incorrect installation, such as uneven flooring or missing leveling legs, can contribute to instability and shaking during operation.
  • Worn Suspension System: The suspension system of your washing machine, including springs and shock absorbers, may wear out over time, leading to increased vibration and shaking.

2. Solutions to Restore Stability

Now that we’ve identified potential causes of the shaking, let’s discuss how Appliance Repairs Centre can help you address this problem effectively. Our team of certified technicians specializes in diagnosing and resolving a wide range of washing machine issues, including excessive vibration.

Here are some solutions we may recommend:

  • Proper Installation: Our technicians can check the installation of your washing machine, including leveling it on stable flooring and adjusting or replacing leveling legs as needed to prevent shaking.
  • Suspension System Inspection: We’ll examine the suspension system of your washing machine to identify any worn or damaged components and replace them to restore stability.
