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.

Why does my boot keep tearing, original lasted years, all replacements are months.

had this once before
A wire from an under wire bra found its way in-between the inner and outer drum
every now and again it would find its way to the seal and tear it
then one day the drum started making a loud grinding sound
on further investigation we found the wire
that fixed both problems

The washer was working great for most the year, all of a sudden it seems to be off balance and now on the spin cycle it vibrates so much that the washer itself creeps across the floor. the clothes are...

A few things I did and it solved my problem of the same nature.
First:
Run a cycle with nothing in the washer. Some models have have a water tank on the outside of the drum that fills to balance the drum. Running a cycle without anything in the drum may allow this small tank to fill back up.

Second:
Grasp the agitator at the top and near the base and move the whole drum around side to side and up and down. This may realign the the skid pads with the drum feet (not the terms that I remember from talking to a repair man I know but doing this may help)

Third:
There may be springs that help keep the drum balanced and centered. If one of these has broken. This would cause the same problem.
Locate them on the inside of the cabinet near the sides and attached to the bottom of the cabinet. (that's where they were for my washer).
Mine were fine so that wasn't the problem.
The first two items fixed it for me.

Hope This Helps!

I am attempting to repair my uploader whirlpool washer, I have removed the drum, however I hear lot of water inside the drum still, what should I do? is it normal?

Yes that is normal. That is your balance ring. It's an ingenious device that acts as a counterweight to keep the tub balanced. All is good.

I keep finding holes in my t-shirts and other jersey clothing, i lost a bra wire in the washing machine a while ago is there any way to get to the outside of the drum? i think if i can get the wire out it...

It is very difficult to get the outside of the drum. The revolving drum is put inside a watertight drum. This drum supported with shock absorbers, front door opening with gasket. To balance the movements heavy counter weights are attached to it. To get outside of the revolving drum, it is necessary to open the front opening, remove the gasket. Hence it is difficult. To do all this two people are necessary. The best way could be find out the one end of the wire, if you can & pull it firmly by using a nose plier.

Seems load is out of balance

Your washing drum is spring balanced and your
motor has rubber shocks to keep it balanced so check
both for damage. _( cracks in rubber shocks and breaks in
washing drum spring or springs ) Also springs or rubber
shocks are no longer fastened to motor or chassis.

My washing machine's drum is making a scraping sound when turning

Hello,
There are two different types of "drum balancers" manufactured into washing machines today... One is a disk type (most washers with this have 2-6 depending on age, manufacturer, and quality), the other type is a self-balancing style. It sounds like you need to order some new drum balancers. The repair will take approxmiately 1-3 hours depending on if the it is a front or top-loading machine.
Hope this helps, James

Washer was moved from one location to another; when turned on at new location it makes a noise and code of DR

Many washers have a sipping rod or bar that needs to be inserted into the unit from the rear or the bottom; this keeps the drum and balance mechanism stable while being moved. Either, the bar/rod is still in the unit and causing the noise, or it was never inserted for the move and the drum balance is off kilter and need to be physically repositioned so the drum sits well centered. Most likely, nothing is broken; just a nuisance. Goodluck, Macgivor
