Grundig Out-of-Round Drum or Damper Fatigue

Washer vibrates excessively only during high-speed spin, even when level and with balanced loads.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Deformed inner drum, Partially failed shock absorbers, Loose concrete counterweights, Worn drum spider causing imbalance

Safety first: Unplug the washer before inspecting internal components.

Step-by-step checks:

Check counterweights: Remove the top and front (or rear) panels to access concrete weights. Ensure all bolts are tight and weights are not cracked.
Inspect shock absorbers: Replace if they show signs of leakage or offer little resistance.
Observe drum run-out: Spin the drum by hand and watch the gap between drum and door seal. Significant wobble suggests drum or spider deformation, requiring drum assembly replacement.
