When a Whirlpool residential washing machine shakes violently or bangs during high-speed spin cycles, the issue is typically caused by uneven leveling feet, an overloaded drum, worn-out suspension rods, or a loose tub weight. First, check that all four leveling legs are firmly touching the floor and locked in place with jam nuts. Second, open the lid and redistribute the laundry load evenly. Third, on top-load models, inspect the four corner suspension rods for oil leaks or stretching. You can troubleshoot stability easily using a bubble level. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when leveling the cabinet, redistributing laundry, or replacing worn suspension rods eliminates violent shaking and allows the machine to run quietly.
