Hi Joe
Check lower balance springs, remove front panel to view there are 6-8 of these, to gain access and remove the front cover, insert a knife or thin blade approx. 4" in the from each side in between the seam on the front panel, this will release the top cover clips and the top cover can be hinged up and back. undo the two top screws to remove the front panel. Also check drum is rotating at full speed when spinning, if not spinning at full speed check and replace drive belt.

First thing is to see if the counter-balance spring it still in place. It should be connected to the base of the machine and the bracket.

Also check the motor coupler to see if it has any play or is loose.

SOURCE: Spin cycle goes out of balance even when empty.

The stem is bent or fractured or the bearing is shot. This is a rebuild job for a techo.

My Midea washer spins violently in spin cycle. Please help!

It sounds like there may be an issue with the balance of your washer. When a washer is out of balance, it can spin violently and cause the machine to reset. Here are a few things you can try:
  1. Make sure the washer is level: Use a spirit level to check if the washer is level. If it is not, adjust the legs until it is.
  2. Distribute the load evenly: Make sure the load inside the washer is distributed evenly. This will help to keep the washer balanced during the spin cycle.
  3. Check for foreign objects: Make sure there are no foreign objects in the drum or the drum's seal, which may cause the washer to vibrate.
  4. Check the suspension: Inspect the suspension system, which supports the drum and keeps it in balance. If the suspension is damaged or worn out, it will need to be replaced.
If the problem persists, it's best to contact the manufacturer or a professional technician for further assistance.

My LAW9406AAE washer is in excellent condition BUT: when it spins it goes out of balance and the tub contacts the sides of the unit. is the repair option reasonable?

Two possible reasons
wash load is too heavy
if it goes out of ballance with small load then likely one of shock absorbers or spring holding drum in place us broken or disconnected

Final drain and spin cycles don't work

Double check your tub ballance. If out of balance it may refuse to continue.

Spins out of balance even emty

This model of washer does not have an out of balance cut off switch. If the load is not balanced properly the tub could hit the cabinet sides. If the unit spins evenly while empty & out of balance while loaded, I recommend checking & balancing the load. If the basket spins out of balance while empty, I recommend having the suspension springs & balance ring checked. Be sure not to wash light fabric with heavy fabric clothes. Also ensure that the adjustable feet are level, that's most important.

Most has a balance ring built onto to the tub, make sure thr balance ring is not damaged, It is normal for the tub to shake in the spin cycle with nothing in washer
