There is No solution to Samsung Washing Machine vibration. People say: 1 - Remove Shipping Bolts 2 - Balance it 3 - Change Shocks But the main problem is....it's Samsung. Total garbage product. I had to change the motherboard on it too. By the time it got diagnosed and I changed other parts to get error code out....it cost me 1/2 new washer price. Finally I have moved houses and again stuck with Samsung. Damn thing vibrates again. I wish I had a 1980's Hoover washer my parents had....Zero problem for decades.
Your suppose to take the lock nuts off when u buy them that’s only to help stop the drum from moving around and causing damage when it’s going from shop to home
Yes we did! The problem was obvious but we just couldn’t get it! My husband went thru the Manuel n realized that he did not remove the “ protective travel bolts” if i May call it so, four of those actually! And now my washer works so quietly you wouldn’t know until u hear the END music playing... still vibrate but nothing big, just the expected little shaking...
same problem with mine I did call samsung many times but when they came always said it is normal. Now mine is out of warranty. Please tell me what should I do to repair this problem. Thanks
@@jackiemonroy6272 I fixed it !!! There are security bolts on the back that you must unscrew so it will stop shaking!! Try to look up videos if you can’t find anything I’ll try to find the video I used?
ATTENTION!!!! 5 Bolts! In the new machines (Dryer+Washer) there are 5 shipping bolts. In the old models there are only 4. So the technicians/installers sometimes misses the fifth bolt (located at the top of the back, near the water exhaust pipe).
There are many videos on RUclips showing where transport bolts are located. Some machines have 4 holes, some less. Just search youtube "samsung washer transport bolts"
No. No fix. Transport bolts were removed prior to install and my plumbers tinkered with balancing machine for well over an hour. Still no better. I filed a warranty claim and Samsung sent a guy out to look at it. He said right away "this is normal". I told him that I've witnessed other Samsung washers that don't shake as much as this, and I further added that the plumbers' who installed my washer and who have much experience installing Samsung (and other) washers said there was DEFINITELY something wrong with my machine - that it was shaking far too much. His response was "machines shake more when on hardwood surfaces". He suggested I buy some rubber pads for anti-vibration and anti-walking (I already had the pads but had not installed them). Basically there was nothing that he could do to help the shaking, so he left. After installing the rubber pads, my machine stopped 'walking' but the heavy vibrations or shaking continued. I suppose I could make another claim, but they're just going to say the same thing without any fix. So I am stuck with a loud rumbling shaky machine and I pray that the shaking doesn't cause cracks in my new walls, crown moldings, and base boards. I will try posting another video with rubber pads to show machine still shakes. You should have replaced my machine, Samsung! Mine is a lemon!
Cadon Barton , thanks, but I will stick to my Samsung 😍😍😍we finally could figure out what we did wrong n now there is only minimum vib which is expected n am so happy...
What do you mean? We just got a new washer just like that one, is it normal that doesn't use much water to wash or rinse?, is it normal to hear a banging noise when spinning?
Transport bolts were removed prior to install and my plumbers tinkered with balancing machine for well over an hour. Still no better. Machine still violently shakes.
@@kotmic Did you find any solution? Same problem here, even use "vibration pads" and the fucked vibrates a lot and moves on the last spin cycle. Samsung combined washer/dryer from 2019.
There are a lot of new Samsungs that have this problem and no good reason for it. Some of the new machines spin up to 1500 rpms, which is far more than is needed and can even damage some delicate clothes. Set your washer to medium spin, which should be more than adequate and hopefully will tide you over until you get get rid of the Samsung, which are the worst appliances I've seen. There is a graveyard of Samsung fridges, washers, dryers and dishwashers that look great and are barely good for parts selling or being given away on kijiji. We have a 9 yr old Kenmore Elite HE3t and it only so far does that at high spin (which is 1050 rpm) when I washed a large bulky comforter. That's apparently one of the main culprits to cause a balancing and vibration issue. Regular, well sorted loads, set at medium spin have no issue. We just bought it used for $400, so my next regular load I'll try at high spin and see if it makes a difference. If it's just comforters that give me high spin issues, I can live w/ that. My sister has a Kenmore Elite HE2 set, 16 yrs old and counting. balanced).
I have a Samsung, washer/dryer combined from 2019. Front loaded. Vibrates a lot when doing spin cycle and moves 1-2 cm on the last one. All bolts removed, machine is leveled properly.
@@Airguitarfooker My condolences. My 9 yr old Kenmore Elite that we bought for $400 w/ matching front load dryer is fine now. Sometimes vibrates on high spin w/ a clunky comforter in it, so we just turn that down to medium spin speed and it's fine. It doesn't move but will vibrate the floor pretty good when unbalanced. These front loaders have balance censors at least, so it will slow and try and rebalance again so it won't walk.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 Thank you for your answer. This Samsung model I payed over $800 dollars for. Two weeks old. I have vibration pads under it, and will try using it without them. The machine can take 8 kg of clothes, I guess I haven't been loading it with even over 5 kg. Could be a manufacturing problem. Do you believe that plenty of Samsung machines experience this issue? Max RPM-spin I've been using is 1200. I could lower it, but should this even be necessary for a machine in this price class?
@@Airguitarfooker It's extremely common for new Samsungs. They make the worst appliances. 1200 is very high. If you have the choice to turn it down, that should keep the vibration and walking down. Mine spins clothes very dry at medium.

Did you follow the instructions?
Have the Exact washer and the Exact problem!!! Have you remedied this since your last comment months ago?
Your suppose to take the lock nuts off when u buy them that’s only to help stop the drum from moving around and causing damage when it’s going from shop to home
Hi, hows ur washer now?
Same Happens With Our Siemens Siwamat Xls 1450 Washing Machine
It's Like The LG Spin Sound !
OMG yes it is
Yes we did! The problem was obvious but we just couldn’t get it! My husband went thru the Manuel n realized that he did not remove the “ protective travel bolts” if i May call it so, four of those actually! And now my washer works so quietly you wouldn’t know until u hear the END music playing... still vibrate but nothing big, just the expected little shaking...
Maureen T. Thanks so much! Helped us out today installing ours. Couldn’t figure it out! Odd design
Washing machine book!?
I was just waiting for the dryer to collapse
Funny you should mention that...ruclips.net/video/QKeG3zzCqxk/видео.html
@@saintejeannedarc9460 it’s like a diesel train going too fast
Give me that Samsung, spin cycle, sloppy toppy
On them front loaders, if you don't remove the shipping bolts the washer will walk all over the floor, lol
My old machine shook like this, I think it’s just because of how fast the motor was going
same problem with mine I did call samsung many times but when they came always said it is normal. Now mine is out of warranty.
Please tell me what should I do to repair this problem. Thanks
I'm having similar issues.. But I think that my floor might be too slippery.
I think this is my problem too.
Did you remove the four shipping bolts on back of washer
Joshua randolph The transport bolts were removed before installation and operation. Problem is not related to transport bolts.
if they weren't that would make it shake 10x worse
some of machine have under the machine a stabilizer, you have to pull it out...because of that also shaking
This is normal
Did yours get better? I just installed mine and this is happening!!
Same
Me too. It shook violently and started moving!!!
@@jackiemonroy6272 I fixed it !!! There are security bolts on the back that you must unscrew so it will stop shaking!! Try to look up videos if you can’t find anything I’ll try to find the video I used?
@@lebhotshorty Yes, that was it! I took out all 4 security bolts and it works now. Thank you!!!
Samsung washing machine steam vrt is the best
I have the same issue with mine! But I have to stop it way before spin cycle can complete. My dryer actually hit the floor.
Nooo. This is why I never ever once even did this type of sh*t.
The motor in this machine sounds like a direct drive motor. Is it a belt drive machine or a direct drive machin3
No its inverter. On a DD washer you cant spin the drum by hand.
628 trillion studs
Samsung direct drive
I can tell European SAMSUNGs are much more better than these ones
dryer gonna fall and be chernobyl 💀
ATTENTION!!!!
5 Bolts!
In the new machines (Dryer+Washer) there are 5 shipping bolts.
In the old models there are only 4.
So the technicians/installers sometimes misses the fifth bolt (located at the top of the back, near the water exhaust pipe).
5 bolts, installers only removed 4. Cheers for the helpful tip pavel. This saved me!
Oil the suspension
you have to calibrate the washer by pressing 2 buttons at the same time, I think it was tem and pause
Did that! Still shaking like crazy
...
Where is the transport bolts located?
There are many videos on RUclips showing where transport bolts are located. Some machines have 4 holes, some less. Just search youtube "samsung washer transport bolts"
Samsung transfer bolts
What do you mean "adjusting lock nuts"?
They are supposed to be removed, not "adjusted".
This is normal. The dryer is only held with clips to the washer. It’s gonna move a bit
Did you fix this?
No. No fix. Transport bolts were removed prior to install and my plumbers tinkered with balancing machine for well over an hour. Still no better.

kotmic I just started using mine, and the shaking is horrible! 😟 this is supposed to be one of the best washer out there!
go to the LG front loaders. best experience I have ever had with a washer and dryer
Cadon Barton , thanks, but I will stick to my Samsung 😍😍😍we finally could figure out what we did wrong n now there is only minimum vib which is expected n am so happy...
what was wrong with it?
Mine flex my door lol

Esquivel Susan if you didn’t already, remove the shipping bolts in the back it should stop shaking
I have the same washer dryer same problems I will never buy Samsung again.
Samsung service Pro tech just told me “it vibrates so you know it is working”. WTF
U FORGOT STACKING KIT
unbalanced or transport bolts

Well the load is unbalanced so you gotta expect it to shake
