I’ve got a Whirlpool front load washer, about 5 years old. Anytime I wash a load with certain items (mainly towels) it bounces around like crazy, causing damage to the wall and potentially the floor.
I’ve tried lightening the loads but it’s getting ridiculous that I can’t wash a full load on a newish washer. Does anyone know if there is a solution to this or maybe parts that would need to be replaced? TIA
Physics is a problem for frontloaders. The drum is held in place by springs and I suspect one of them is broken so you’re not getting the dampening you need.
We have a Whirlpool frontloader, about 10 years old. Sometimes, and increasingly so, it refuses to start because it can’t control the door lock. The accepted solution, and I kid you not, is to give it a good whack with your fist in a specific location while pressing the start button.
We are not going to buy any more Whirlpool frontloaders.
I love that we’re talking washing machines on the fan board. Our Samsung front loaders started doing that after a few years. We got rid of them and went LG top loads and never looked back.
On another topic. I’m getting dishpan hands. Any suggestions?
Dawn dish soap, according to old TV commercials it’s better than hand lotion.
Softens your hands while you do the dishes.
You’re soaking in it.
I feel your pain. My old front loader used to shake the whole house. Be careful about the way it’s loaded…try to lay stuff flat-ish and put it in a couple items at a time (especially if heavy) and not crumpled or wadded up. Also if the washer is on a pedestal, that can make things much worse.
Three words is all you ever need to know when you’re talking about appliances:
Maytag, baby… Maytag.
I am a die-hard DIYer on appliances. I have an old top loader (19 year old Maytag running smoothly), so no experience with the front loaders but here is a site I have used to help with diagnosis, repair tips and parts:

Same here, a DIYer on appliance repair and it’s easy. 20 year old Maytag washer and dryer. In the last year or so, replaced motor on dryer. Also rollers and a burner ignitor. Cheap to do it yourself and there are How to videos all over the net.
