Stop the Shake: A Quick Fix for a Noisy Washing Machine

ADVERTISEMENT

For front-loading washers, check that the load isn’t unbalanced—heavy items like towels or blankets can bunch up and cause excess vibration. Open the door, redistribute the items evenly, and run the spin cycle again.

FAQ:

Q: Why does my washing machine shake so violently?
A: Common reasons include an uneven floor, unbalanced loads, or loose leveling legs. Correcting these usually resolves the issue.

Q: Can this shaking damage my machine?
A: Yes, prolonged shaking can damage internal components over time. It’s best to address the problem quickly.

Q: What if the machine is still shaking after adjusting?
A: Try placing anti-vibration pads under the legs, or call a technician to check for internal suspension or drum issues.
