On many machines that is normal, the shaking continues until the load is distributed relative evenly around the spinning drum. It is also possible it is the main bearing but I am not sure. The noise I am talking about would have been there since new. These links may help. Washer has noise during spin cycle Whirlpool Maytag Sears GHW9100LW1 Washer is Making Loud Noise

SOURCE: de1 error message on Samsung front load washer

Hello,De error refers to "Door Error".

You do not need to buy a new machine. You can fix this.

Look at the below mentioned link

http://lgknowledgebase.com/kb/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=799

No doubt the above page is for "LG", However it's the basic and would remain the same for all models and machines whether that's GE, LG, Samsung etc....
Thanks

SOURCE: samsung dryer makes loud noise; just started

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

'purchased approx. 2 yrs ago. always had trouble'?

Even whilst under guarantee/warantee?

I need to explain our situation.The washing machine forum is just made up of ordinary guys and gals, probably at home and from all over the world, with experience of addressing mostly mechanical and electrical/electronic problems and giving guidance on these for free on the web. In addition the members are not 'affiliated' to, or representative of, any manufacturer of washing machines or detergents whatsoever so we have to be carefull what we say;-0)


Sorry but all I can suggest is that you call your local Samsung service agent to see if it can cure your problems. You do not want to go to the expense of purchasing a different washer!

If this has clarified the situation for you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck!
John C.

The rear tub bearing is going. This is not a repairable fix as the bearing is molded into the plastic of the outer tub housing. (You can see the explosions on YouTube) Usually they will let go in high speed spin and do quite a bit of damage. These machines are made to last about 5 to 7 years and then be recycled. Find a Speed Queen dealer in your area and get a washer that is tested to last 25 years to a lifetime.

Make a really loud noise during the spin cycle

I would check the wash tub. Remove any clothes and examine how the tub sits in the opening. If it is sagging it could mean that the support arms are broken.

Try turning it by hand. It should turn smoothly without any noise. When the washer is in the spin cycle does it sound like a jet engine? If it does, it probally needs new bearings. It can be expensive to fix. Get a few estimates. Hope this helps you.

Load noise in final spin cycle

turn the tub on the inside if it feels ruff as it turns and makes a noise then most likely you have a bad rear bearing, if it is smooth in turning and no noise then turn to drain or spin possibly something stuck in drain pump. the drain pump will start up first if you hear the noise then the drain pump is accessed from the front lower cover, if its the rear bearing probably not worth fixing about 400.00 in parts and alot of work.
