Shipping Bolt
Retained shipping bolts are the most common cause of 'violent' shaking in front-load washers. These bolts lock the outer tub directly to the metal cabinet for transport; if not removed, the cabinet absorbs 100% of the centrifugal energy during spin cycles rather than allowing the suspension to dampen it.

Washer Shock Absorber (Friction Damper) Kit
If the unit is not new, the friction dampers have likely failed or lost their grease, failing to resist the tub's movement. This leads to the tub 'bottoming out' or hitting the cabinet walls during the high-speed transition, resulting in significant vibration.

Washer Leveling Leg
Front-load washers require all four legs to be in firm, equal contact with the floor. If a leg is damaged, missing its rubber pad, or incorrectly adjusted, the machine will 'rock' on its diagonal axis, which amplifies into violent shaking at high RPMs.
