Washer Shock Absorber
These dampers are responsible for absorbing the kinetic energy of the drum during the spin cycle. When the internal friction material degrades, the shock provides no resistance, leading to the tub banging against the side panels. This is the most common mechanical cause of 'violent' shaking in front-load Maytag units.

Leveling Leg
Front-load washers require all four feet to be in high-tension contact with the floor to maintain stability at 1,000+ RPM. If a leg is damaged or the locking nut is loose, the machine will experience harmonic vibration that escalates into violent movement and 'walking' across the floor.

Suspension Spring
Two heavy-duty springs support the weight of the outer tub assembly from the top frame. If a spring has stretched or the plastic dampening sleeve at the hook point has worn through, the tub will sit unevenly, causing a permanent weight bias that the software cannot self-correct, resulting in extreme shaking even with small loads.
