- I bought this washer used. Worked great for a month or so then started banging around really bad. Replaced all the suspension rods and corner springs. Not sure what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.
This is a whirlpool wtw4800xq2
Putting your arm or hand in a spin washer can rip your arm right off for real seriously
I wasn't wearing gloves, nor any clothing for it to grab.
@@Ottersmilk either way, that’s not very smart.
@@kmcdowell1250 agree
If anything on running a Washer with the Lid open, it would rather be to just see the action.
If any Hands go in the Washer, while the Lid is open, it’s best to stop it first by taking the Latch off the Lid Switch/Lid Lock Mechanism or pushing the Timer Knob/pushing the Pause Button or cancelling the Cycle & waiting for it to stop completely before doing so.
unless if you put your hand near the agitator can hurt your fingers
Its the BALANCE RING on the top of the tub!!!! it cracked and no water in it. i have had this problem! fix all other parts and still shaking and the balance ring had no water. i sealed the leak with super glue and filled it back up 75% and problem fixed!
Very interesting Tony! Thanks for your input. I’m a pretty experienced DIYer but have never heard of this balance ring. Do most all machines have this ring, or only certain brands? Any added info greatly appreciated.
I know those seemingly out of balance conditions can really shorten bearing life.
@@chuckdearruda6271..As opposed to Tony, I removed mine completely, and now it runs like a charm..
Suspension
Mines done this since I got it! Whirlpool is shit! I’ll never buy a whirlpool again!
Everyone DONT EVER try to stop a washer from a unbalanced load with your had like he did if your not careful it will grab your hand and rip it clean off or severely injure it if you want to stop it press the pause button or unplug the machine
Nothing is tried and true like the old direct drive beasts
You must also be a service tech? My grandad still fixes up the direct drives whenever we can come across one. People will get rid of their new one and say bring that old one to my house and hook it up please!
Mine is doing that, I’m replacing my suspension rods. Costs about 55 bucks for all 4.
Costs about $30 on Amazon 😳
Did the rods solve your problem?
Did you fix it curly sue.
I replaced the rods on mine didn't help.
@@A_H-54321 run the calibration mode after u replace the springs
🤣 you should see it with a cinder block in it🤣
👌
I just fix mine. It turned out to be the suspension rods and the tube hub. If you change the tube hub with the metal one, use your original screws. The ones they send with the metal one did not fit correctly. Also I had to buy OEM suspension rods. Good luck.
Love this pro assessment made by dude in his puma socks
I’m confused how that thing is even spinning when it’s open. Usually those things have lid switches or sensors for safety reasons.
If you look bottom right you can see he bypassed it by taking the swtich engager thing off the lid and stuck it in the port
Mine is doing that rite now but it only does that when it's on the rense cycle but it washes with no problem
You should buy the new Speed Queen TC5 Classic Series Washing Machine. Old school transmission driven wash action!!!
It's unbalanced I don't understand everytime a washing machine gets unbalanced people say get a speed queen like come on please find something else
@@Thedonsmoney25823 The new washers with the hanging suspension rods are totally garbage. Speed Queen doesn't have the hanging suspension rods. Speed Queen is 100% better than the Chinese made washers. Speed Queen is American made guaranteed to last 25 years and 10,400 cycles!!!
@@elevatorproductionsbymaxpassa, Actually you're completely wrong on that part. Every washing machine that has the hanging suspension isn't " garbage ". Tell me one time where either GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, or Whirlpool had recalls for suspension systems breaking, exactly, NONE. Even if there have been incidents like that, it's either due to consumer error, or a manufacturing defect. Samsung is notorious for making extremely cheap suspension rods on their washers that had got recalled not too long ago, and LG had similar issues with their washers as well. So if you want to point out companies that has (in the past) made washing machines with cheaply made suspension systems, look no further than Samsung and LG, and these are two companies that are based in Korea and mainly manufacture mobile devices. Oh, and speaking of Samsung, they've had a plethora of terrible issues with a large majority of their appliances, not just some of their washing machines, they've had MAJOR issues with their refrigerators, microwaves, smartphones, and heck, even some of their dryers. Also, Speed Queen washers may be built to last, but that's not a license for anyone to just abuse the heck out of a washing machine, and the suspension setup that Speed Queen has isn't infallible at all, nothing in this universe is infallible to exact. Those " heavy-duty springs " can become rusted over-time and the hook end part of one of the springs can break off, or the connector hole for the spring hook can become worn from rust and fade away over the years. Just because a washing machine is built to last for many years, that doesn't mean that it's a machine that's impervious to wear and tear. It may be more resistant to wear and tear compared to lower end washers, but at the end of the day, it has a limited lifespan, just like all other washing machines (old-school or modern), it just has a longer lifespan. However, any washing can last a very long time if it's built right, AND if it's used properly and not abused. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Speed Queen isn't the only option to get for a washing machine. You make it sound like it's super easy to just go out and buy a Speed Queen washing machine. I'm sure you're well aware of how much these washers cost, you're talking about spending $1000+ bucks plus taxes included (and shipping & handling, depending on the company if you order online). Unless you have a {upper} five, six or seven figure income, you're probably not going to have $1000+ bucks sittin' in the bank account, especially when there's important bills to pay EVERY MONTH, food to put on the table EVERY MONTH, and house supplies and personal care products to buy EVERY MONTH, and even that's not scratching the surface of the costs of living. Now, if I had to recommend any washing machine brand to anyone, it would either be GE, or Speed Queen. The reason why I said GE is because their auto-balancing suspension actually works, and due to the suspension system being flexible, it's able to nullify any tension and/or stress from unbalanced loads by being able to freely float forward, backward, up, down, left, and right. GEs high-end top-loading smart dispense washing machine is the best of GEs current washing machines, it has dynamic balancing technology, a direct drive motor (which is far more reliable than the belt-driven motors of today), and anti-vibration technology [which slows the final spin speed down to a medium low spin speed for the remainder of the final spin cycle if there's too much vibration when the washer spins to high speed], and the wash action is very aggressive for a HE washer, and it actually scrubs your clothes clean, regardless of the water level. This guy's washer on the other hand was probably abused and eventually called it quits, even the ring was messed up. The reason why I even took the time out to type this comment is to convey one simple message, " _One apple may be rotten, but don't assume that every apple tree is rotten just because you had one bad apple_ ".
@@elevatorproductionsbymaxpassa, Oh, and one more thing, GE is also Made in America, GE has actually gotten better ever since Haier purchased GEs appliance division.
@@Enigmaculate i hope people will learn from this
My moms best friend had this exact machine. She replaced it with the newer version with the slightly larger tub (she has 2 older boys), and the "agipeller" agitator. She is so much happier now than she was with her old one.
You know, out of all my videos... a washing machine and the most views. Mind blown haha
You're really brave from stopping the washing machine from going crazy
Same, I post informative videos and I get like 20 views, then I post my friend throwing an empty soda bottle on the floor and I get 3k views in a week…
It’s because we’re all here trying to figure out what’s wrong with our shit.
I love washers
We simple, arm in spinning objects
one thing that makes the noise worse is the ring got loose and now it's shaking crazy and makes a loud noises but good thing you took out the ring.
Did you take out the springs? If you didn't your washer is gone and damaged
Did my dude just put his hand into a spinning washing machine💀
same as my SHARP washer, but i called a service center and it works again
I have the same washer and it did this too! I had a repairman come fix the suspension and voila.
How much does it cost to fix.
What's a viola
@pearltraylor1912 a viola is a larger violin like instrument. Voila is french for there, used like "there, done"
The spring is broken you need to replace it search up how to fix a amana washing machine this is a great time to replace the spring.
This Whirlpool doesn’t care if it goes off balance.
Yeah, that's how my mom's step brother lost his arm
Well its either in the tub or swinging on the fan
Mines be doing but I’m getting a brand new washer tomorrow
This happened to a whirlpool combo unit in an apartment I had, WHILE I was actively leaving a voicemail for the property manager about them having switched the hot and cold on the unit, ruining my business clothes. I was livid lol. They repaired it rather than replace...
DAMN that washing machine is crazy and yes it can rip your arm off if u put your hand or arm
Its not time for a new machine just suspension rods to be changed.
It scares me every time it happens because its so loud and its very embarrassing when I'm using it, even though its been a very rare case that it would happen, I've been getting very scared and paranoid to where I would close my ears every time it would start to rotating because I've had moments of that happening out of the blue when not expected sometimes and its very loud and scarey and very embarrassing because I always worry about getting something said about it and possible blame for any failures of it happening to it and being at the same time that I'm going to have to be going to go and try to set it right even though it would sometimes do that even when I've put the load in very carefully right at times which were the very unexpected times, so you see washer machines are and can be very fragile things to work with so I'd be very careful with them if I were you, because you may never know what to expect with washer machines because they can get and be very weird at times sometimes.
Yeah those can get extremely loud.
Omg i thought I'm the only one
Yea, might not be safe to grab that while it's spinning, 🤔.
My Panasonic washer When it shakes violently it Automaticallys Change the process into wash instead of rinse
Go with a whirlpool Duet Ghw9200, 9250, 9400, 9300, 9100, or the 9150 series used. Or the whirlpool direct drive LSN2000 USED
its just the suspension rods.... 40 dollar fix for parts....
Buy OEM suspension rods.
Washing machine:😐
The drum:🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺
I had one that done the same thing. Had to buy a new one.
my mental health 2 minutes after entering school
this is how whirlpool makes all their washers
so i know the problem. the hydraulic ring is without water. so she cant balance the tub
My dads washer does that but moves the whole washer across the porch 😂
suspension rods
Oh yeah, it seems like a great idea to stick your hand in there.
Sorry your a weenie
WHY would you rip off that PART
It seems that the suspension is going bad
Mine does this but it doesn’t have the center piece. We make sure to lay everything we put in it in a circle making sure it will have a balanced load but the damn thing still beats and bangs like we didn’t.
Omg yesssss . Mine does the same thing and doesn't have the center piece .
I do everything u just said . But it still makes that noise . Plz someone help . I just bought mine 2 month ago .
Suspension rods easy to change out
Mines is so making so much thumping that it's trying to leave the house. 😳
Azaria Hawthorne yeah, I replaced al the suspension parts, springs. Still did it. I ended up tossing it. I also heard the bearing for the bin could be a possibility
@@Ottersmilk from what I've been we put too many clothes in one load and it can cause it to break off.
I'm having exact same issue.. help
@@debralynsimon1256 you might need to get a replacement

But it a whirlpool

DO NOT PUT YOUR ARM IN THE WASHER! It can cause your arm to flail off of your body and go in the washer. Don’t try this at home kids!
Here’s something that I discovered by accident..I’d been fighting my Whirlpool since shortly after I bought it, leveling and re-leveling it constantly..Eventually it just destroyed the tub ring and the balancing ring..But before I replaced them, about $150 worth of parts, I ran it without neither, and BINGO, ran like a charm! That damn leveling ring, the very part that was SUPPOSED to keep it from banging all over the place, turned out was causing the problem, and not at all eliminating it! Apparently somebody dropped the ball on that design..
Nunca deben meter las manos cuando esté en operación una lavadora ya sea en lavado o centrifugado, gracias
Wow
Así hace la mía
Ya la Nivele... A que se debe?
Por favor me pueden dar algún consejo
Gracias
Por sobre peso de ropa
En pocas palabras que le mete mucha ropa de la que tiene que lavar
Hola! Con gusto te digo que es.... Cuando la ropa se DESBALANCEA... o sea que esta ( la ropa) se HACE A UN LADO .... A mí también me puede pasar.,.. sino que yo la detengo abro la puerta y saco la ropa y la ordeno.... Se vuelve a meter a la lavadora... Lo mejor ordenadita y cierras la puerta y la prendes otra vez 😊 espero que te sirva.... Saludos...
@@fuzzy6396 hola! No, no es cierto que por exceso de ropa se debe el desbalanceo de la centrífuga da..... Se debe a que la ropa se DESBALANCEA... Se hace para un lado (la ropa) y solo con sacarla toda! Se reordena, acomoda bien y listo! Verás que sí funciona 😇 felicidades
@@rallyrami9916 bueno puede ser
Pero la mia le cambiamos los 4 resortes y fin del problema 👍
no he just need some suspension rods cost about $35 on Amazon
He replaced all the springs on the machine.
My whirlpool is doing the same thing. A tech is coming to see what's causing that. I'll update you when he fixes it.
So what happened?
Es la suspensión o varillas!!!
One, slip, you're getting pulled down into it with the spiral on that agitator.
Do you seriously want to go to the emergency department?!?
LOL THE RING XD
Washer goes psycho!!!
O que que aconteceu com a máquina😢
This happened to our washing machine in my apartment and it broke
Sounds like you need new rods
These machines don't have strong suspension like older ones did these machines are basically built to fail
Seen a swan neck fracture because someone stuck their hand in there. Persons arms looks like a swan neck
Suspension needs to be changed out.. unless it’s a shaft issue.
WHAT IF SPIN WASHING MACHINE JUMPING MIDEA ES UNA DE
TAMBOR SUSIA
Is that washing machine broken
Why didn't you just fix it? Did you ever think it may have been the suspension support rods?
I replaced the suspension springs. This was many moons ago.
@@Ottersmilk ahh. We are experiencing this same problem now. I'm going to Home Depot to get a 4 pack of them and I'm going to replace the suspension rods with the help of my son. 🤗
The ring...
😭😭😭😂
Just needs to be fixed
Oh my God! you have problem with the fuel injection...😁.Check the springs...😀
This guy tried to stop a washing machine with his hand. Please don't anyone else try this.
It’s never good to stick your hand in the washer with the lid open
That Is A Super Off-Balance Spin I’ve Seen On A Whirlpool.
Even with no cloth in the washing machine and no water, it will do that.
Have you tried closing the lid?
That is so scary and why would you put your hand in it you know your hair is gonna rip off and also you don’t throw that away instead you had to try to look at in the washing machine to see which one will you just put it too fast fast.❤❤❤❤
Why the hell would you put your hand on it? 😂
Ever figure out what was wrong with it?
It goes fast like a Lambo or a Bugatti
Did you figure out the problem?
No ended up getting a new one after I dumped 100 bucks in new parts Into it
@@Ottersmilk I'm at about $40 in. Did you try to change the belt? In my research I found out it has the wrong belt on it so going to try that.
No sir, it was working fine then one day it just started doing it. So I changed all the suspense stuff and a few springs. Then the ring busted so I just gave up.
@@Ottersmilk I'm at this point. 2 sets of springs, new shocks. Was looking to see if the bottom is what's wrong. I'm out of ideas. It's now worse than before the springs.
Buenas tardes tengo una pregunta es que me desarmarlo mi lavadora marca whirpool modelo de 2017 por debajo de la y no me la dejaron bien armada y les falto ponerle un protector que lleva por debajo donde va la polea de pero no se como ponerlo
my samsung would often do that every time when washer goes off balanced the tub would do that every time if something happens
I have a Maytag my is doing that on the spin cycle, I replaced the suspension rods but It didn't help. What else should I look at.
Get a new washer
Balance ring can be a bitch to change .
There is a disc cap under the agitator called a basket drive that secures it to bottom tub. For whatever reason Whirlpool/maytag changed it from metal to plastic. But since a metal gear sits inside against this plastic cap then any off balance load starts to strip it out. the more stripped out it gets the worse the shaking. You can replace this cap with a metal one and it won't shake anymore.
Bro JUST USE DISTILLED VINEGAR NOT FABRIC SOFTENER edit: this comment has nothing todo with this vid
Why would u put your hand in there ? You could have broke your arm
Replace the suspension rods
Where did you buy your socks from
Need new suspension rods
It spins like that because you put something heavy in it
You need a PRIEST!!!!😂
Put heaviest clothing on top
Of the middle thing
*[INTENSE SHAKING]*
woah that washer need to chill
You’d better get rid of this and get a 90’s direct drive model.
Or 2000s direct drive model.
Dear god that is tsp scary
It’s usually how the load is set in there I always try and put it in a uniform fashion so when it gets wet it won’t do this lol but idk
Lol that's not a load imbalance that's suspension pieces to hold it in place broken. Unless there is a cinder block inside that then I take that back.
NEVER put your hand in a spinning washer, it could’ve ripped your hand right off and caused serious damage to your arm and hand
Washer having a seizure be like
Hold down the start button next time to stop it...
It's time for a new washer.... after you mashed it up.. lol
You should have pause it instead of using your hand to stop it and probably it got stuck and you broke a piece
Puting your hands in thier with that kind of spin is kinda dangerous lol
R.I.P his whirlpool dryer
That’s not his dryer
Yes it was lmao. Why that gets the most views is beyond me.
@@Ottersmilk Washing machines maybe also dryer maybe. I don’t know. And why you put hand in washer
mine span even crazier,the entire washing machine span like a spinning top
