shakes violently at start of spin
can anyone help -please

DESPERATE JACKY, June 2011

i have now levelled the actual bowl itself--the m/c was level -but not the bowl --probably worn springs --12 yrs ? by packing up the m/c --it works fine so far

thank you

The ring at the top of the inner bowl is sealed & the water should never come out. Have never known one yet to loose any water. Don't know how much they put in but it is never full. You can hear water sloshing around if you take the bowl out & tip it over. If spin was quiet the other day then probably not bearing failure. Bearing noise builds up over a period of time. Sounds more like new suspension rods & springs are required. Bounce bowl up & down if it feels weak replace them.

g/day lincoln app.--thanks
i tried it on mt --starts to just spin but shakes badly -stops.
the top plastic splash /cover has a bit of damage -that wouldn,t affect it ?--top spring area ok

it spun the other day lovely quiet

Is it noisy when on full speed spin? If yes then the bearings need replacing. If not then the suspension rods & springs need replacing. There is one on each corner to support the bowl. They come as a set of 4 and are easy to replace by raising the top deck.
