In this Video, We have a Whirlpool Top Load Washer, Model WTW4816FW2, In Which the Complaint was that it was Shaking Violently During the Spin Cycle and Sounded OFF Balance. This is one of the Most Common Issues among Whirlpool Brand Washers, Including Whirlpool, Maytag, Admiral, Amana and Some Kenmore Washers. This Problem is Usually Caused By Weakened Suspension Shocks. After Testing Washer, We Found that the Suspension Shocks Needed to Be Replaced. I also Show You How to Put Your Washer in Diagnostic.Test Mode and How to Calibrate Your Washer, In Case it Needs It. I go Step by Step in this Video, So if this is the Issue You are Having in Your Washer, Make Sure to Watch this Video Throughly, So you Can Replace the Shocks in Your Whirlpool Washer.

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 😊

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!

Did service work for over 10 years in Oklahoma. On almost every brand, and except the Tulsa area I was responsible for the rest of the state. I watched ur video to help me remember how to get the job done. TY it was a very good video.

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.

Man i did the repair with shocks, it took about 15-20min. It worked great for a few days and then the shacking came back! After watching your video I realized i must have done something wrong, so I looked again and I guess one of the plastic pieces came off from the top of the hook, i just put back and added a load, well see if makes a difference.

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?

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 ?

Just leave it where it is from manufacturing 👋

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

@DIYRepairsNow 3 ай бұрын

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLiqlcJ03cDPaIU.htmlsi=bANTwAsGaZ1bpI5a&t=41

Yes, It Would be the Same Process.

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?
