Washer vibrating or shaking

01 - Washing Machine Drain Pump
If the washer is vibrating or shaking only during the drain cycle, it's likely that the drain pump is partially obstructed or malfunctioning in some other way. You should inspect the pump for any debris lodged in the ports and replace the component if you suspect it is malfunctioning.

02 - Washing Machine Shock Absorber
One or more of the shock absorbers might be broken or worn out. The shock absorbers dampen the vibration of the washer tub. If one or more of the shock absorbers are worn out, the washer will vibrate or shake. Sometimes, when a washer is moved to another location, the shock absorbers can separate. Check the shock absorbers to ensure that they are positioned correctly, and inspect them for damage and wear. If one or more of the shock absorbers are broken or worn out, we recommend replacing all o...f the shock absorbers as a preventative measure.
