Admiral ATW4675YQ 4.5 cu ft Top Load Washer with Deep Water Wash and Fabric Softener Dispenser Excessive Vibration Error Fix: Excessive Vibration and Walking During Spin

Error code Excessive Vibration on the Admiral ATW4675YQ 4.5 cu ft Top Load Washer with Deep Water Wash and Fabric Softener Dispenser means: Excessive Vibration and Walking During Spin. The washer vibrates violently during the spin cycle, sometimes moving ('walking') across the floor. First, check that the washer is level using a bubble level on top — adjust the four leveling legs. Ensure the floor is solid and not flexing. Beyond basic leveling issues, worn suspension rods, stretched springs, a detached counterbalance spring, or a deteriorated snubber ring can all allow excessive tub orbiting during high-speed spin. A severely worn drive bearing can also cause vibration. On some models, shipping bolts left in place after installation restrict tub movement and can contribute to vibration — verify they were removed.
