In this post, I'll break down the most common causes of a shaking Samsung washer, what you can do about it, and when it’s time to call in the pros!

Why Is My Samsung Washer Shaking So Much?

A Samsung washer that shakes violently during the spin cycle isn’t just annoying — it can cause long-term damage to your appliance, your floors, and even nearby walls. But don’t worry: most of the time, it’s caused by one of the following fixable issues

1. Unbalanced Loads

Overloading your washer, or washing one bulky item (like a blanket or comforter) can throw the drum off balance. This leads to excessive shaking during high-speed spins.

Quick Fix: Stop the cycle and redistribute the load evenly. Avoid washing heavy items alone.

2. Washer Not Level

If your Samsung washer isn't sitting level on the floor, it can wobble, vibrate, or even "walk" during use.

DIY Tip: Use a level tool and adjust the washer's feet until it's sitting flat on the ground. If the floor is uneven, you might need rubber pads or shims.

3. Worn Out Shock Absorbers or Suspension Rods

Over time, internal components like shock absorbers or suspension springs can wear out. These parts help stabilize the drum and reduce vibration. Once they’re damaged, your washer can shake even with light loads.

Professional Repair Recommended: Matt’s Appliance Care can replace worn parts quickly and affordably.
