New washer vibrates on final spin

The problem
A newly bought washing machine was reported to shake and sound loud on the final spin. It was vibrating in place rather than moving across the floor.
Likely cause
The strongest suggestions in the discussion were installation or loading issues rather than a confirmed fault: transit packaging may not have been fully removed, the washer may not be level, or the spin load may have been unbalanced.
What fixed it
The accepted advice was to check the instruction manual and confirm all transit packaging had been removed, make sure the washer is properly level front-to-back and side-to-side, and ensure the drum load is balanced. No definite mechanical fault or completed repair was confirmed in the thread.
Checks to try
  • Observed that the washer was vibrating on final spin but not moving around
  • Check that any transit packaging fitted for delivery has been removed
  • Check the washer is level from front to back and side to side
  • Check the wash load is balanced
Parts or tools mentioned

Hello. I have rarely worked on top loading washing machines. All of my customers always had frontloading washing machines. The video doesn't look excessively bad, but clearly it is vibrating a fair bit. The main thing to check if it is a new washing machine is that any transit packaging that may have been fitted has been properly removed. Full details should be in the instruction manual or with a leaflet that came with the washing machine. Also it is necessary to make sure the washer is dead level. You should ideally also proper spirit level and ensure it is level from front to back as well as from side to side.

And finally you need to check that the load that you have put in is a balanced load. Give my article here a good read Washing machine jumps and bangs on spin. It contains information about how unbalanced loads affect the washing machine and how to avoid unbalanced loads.
