Look in your manual for the 'transit bolts' removal. Serious damage will be caused to the washer if these are not removed prior to starting the initial running of machine.

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.

How do I fix a front load washer that shakes violently on the last spin cycle?

CLOTHES UNBALANCED? OR COUNTER BALANCE SUPPORTS BROKEN, AND NEED REPLACMENT? WASHERS have many different weight balancers but sounds like u need to take body off and have look at the counter weights set up while running machine, just jumper the door switch to keep a closed line. and then agin sometimes its as simple as making sure ur washer is leveled on ur floor, check ur leg adjusters as they do get funny at times..

Tub shakes violently during spin cycle

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..

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.

Washer shakes violently when going into spin

Adjust the legs on the bottom of the washer so that all legs are touching. requires a 1/2 or 9/16 inch wrench to loosen the lock nut then adjust the leg to where they touch the floor evenly plus a 1/8 turn then try it. If it still bounces around you may have a mount that has come loose, if so post here and I will Post what to do next.

WAY too much shaking

Take out the four "shipping\travel" bolts in the back of the machine. Read the manual- it will tell you how to do this. John
