Suspension washers (subwasher kits) cushion the inner tub and absorb vibration at key mounting points. When they crack, flatten, or deteriorate, the tub loses support and vibrates violently — especially during spin.
Symptoms: Excessive vibration, tub wobble, banging during spin, washer walking.
Shop OEM Subwasher Kit WW01F03254 →A load that is too large, too small, or unevenly distributed causes the drum to spin off-center. This is the most common cause of washer shaking and is not always a parts issue.
Symptoms: Shaking only on certain loads, error codes, mid-cycle stops.
Redistribute the load evenly and avoid washing single heavy items alone. If the problem persists with balanced loads, a mechanical cause is likely.
Shock absorbers and suspension rods dampen tub movement during spin. When they wear out or break, the tub swings freely and causes severe vibration and banging against the cabinet.
Symptoms: Loud banging, tub hitting cabinet walls, vibration worsens at high spin speeds.
Shop Washer Suspension Parts →If the washer feet are not adjusted evenly on the floor, the machine will rock and vibrate during operation. This is a simple fix that is often overlooked.
Symptoms: Rocking motion, vibration on all load sizes, noise from feet on floor.
Use a level to check all four corners and adjust the leveling feet until the machine sits flat and stable.
Drum bearings allow the inner tub to spin smoothly. When they wear out, the tub wobbles and creates grinding or rumbling noise in addition to vibration.
Symptoms: Grinding or rumbling noise, vibration that worsens over time, water leaking from bearing area.
Shop Washer Drum Bearings →No. Severe vibration can cause the washer to walk into walls or other appliances, damage flooring, and worsen internal wear. Stop using the machine and diagnose the cause before running more loads.
Replacing a subwasher kit typically takes 45–90 minutes for an experienced DIYer. You will need to remove the washer cabinet or top panel to access the suspension mounting points.

Some vibration at high spin speeds is normal, but violent shaking, banging, or walking is not. If high-speed vibration is new or worsening, inspect suspension washers, shock absorbers, and leveling feet.
Suspension washers (subwasher kits) are polymer pads that cushion the tub at its mounting points and reduce friction. Shock absorbers are hydraulic or friction-based dampeners that control tub movement during spin. Both work together — if one fails, the other is often stressed and should be inspected too.
