I would try releveling the machine by adjusting the legs at the bottom of the unit. If you got the unit that has the pedestal, check the legs on the bottom as well as the bolts that fastens the unit to the pedestal and make sure everything is fasten down. If this is a new appliance, and installed your self make sure the shipping bolts are removed from the back of the unit. If its not new and that doesnt help ,high chance that you might be overloading the unit or the bearing is going out and the drum of offbalance..

Shakes violently during spin cycle from back to
I had this problem with my front loader as well. It is probably the mounts or "level shocks" on the bottom of the unit under the tub. I have a Kenmore by Frigidaire and had to replace the "level shocks". I only paid about $43.00 and was not that hard to put on. Look under your machine and see if the shocks are connected to the tub. Check under the top panel also to see if that particular model has mounts up there too.

Kenmore Oasis HE shakes violently during spin cycle
Machine legs should be adjusted so that machine is level and standing on all four legs. The load in the machine should be evenly distributed. Utube has an excellent video on washing machine repair.

Kenmore he2 washer shakes violently
Check the Vibration damper rods to be sure that...
1. They are there and mount is solid.
2. If they are broken in 1/2.
3. The plastic knuckle mounts are not missing/broken.
4. There is oil in the shock absorber/spring section of the rods.

Also - there are suspension springs on the bottom of the tub that could be broken and/or missing.

Replace/repair as necessary.

Front load washer shakes violently during spin cycle
On something like this you will need to remove the washer wrap to inspect the suspension springs & base assembly. Please see the link provided for accessing the inside of the washer. Be sure the shipping pins have been removed. The tub should float freely.

Samsung P801 Front Loader shakes violently during spin cycle.
When the washer goes into spin cycle it is suppost to start at a slow speed and continue to increase speed (to a maximum of 800 RPM) as the water leaves the clothes. Your washer is going directly to 800 RPM which causes the washer to shake and stop giving you the E4 code. The control board that controls this speed increase must be replaced.

Kenmore washing machine shakes violently
There is the tub that spins on the bearing the " the active tub"(the one the clothes go in obviously) and around that tub is the "stationary tub", between the two are what they call "snubs" these are either rubber wheels, bushings or on cheaper models just a rubber boot that works as a shock absorber if you will, and keeps the movement of the the "active tub" with in its axis. If a wheel is broken, or a bushing/boot is torn or broken then there lies your problem.

I hope this helps.

Kenmore washer shakes violently during spin cycle
syrny,

Not sure what you did, exactly. First, does the machine shake when spun empty...and then with water only? If so, you have probably failed to tighten something or misaligned something. Go over your work.

No shakes? Rearrange your load. You may have a pair of heavy wet jeans which is throwing the whole thing out of kilter. It only takes about a half pound of sodden clothing to do this.
