System shakes or 

shudders when spin 

speed increases.

The washer drum suspension sys-

a slight shaking of the washer 

during the spin speed transition.

Mix small and large laundry items together in the load 

to minimize this effect. Check to be sure the washer is 

level and all four feet press equally against the floor.
