Washer drum wobbles excessively when spun by hand; inner drum appears off-center.

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

Possible Causes

Corroded or cracked spider arm, Long-term overloading, Chemical corrosion from detergents

Safety first: Unplug the washer before disassembly.

Check drum movement: Rotate and push/pull the inner drum; clunking or uneven movement suggests spider damage.
Inspect through heater hole: On some models, removing the heater allows limited view of the spider arms.
Repair: Spider arm replacement requires removing the drum from the tub and is typically done with a new inner drum assembly.
