If your Crosley washer is shaking, vibrating, or moving during spin, start by inspecting the washing machine damper. A damaged or missing damper can no longer absorb tub movement, causing the washer to become unbalanced and shake during the spin cycle. If the vibration happens only while draining, check the drain pump for debris or signs of malfunction. Next, inspect the shock absorbers, which may be worn, broken, or separated after the washer was moved. Replace all shock absorbers if one is damaged. Broken suspension rods or suspension springs can also allow the tub to move excessively, resulting in a washer shaking violently or a washing machine that shakes violently during the spin cycle. For a top-load Crosley washer, a loose inner tub that rotates freely by hand can indicate a worn or damaged transmission. Before testing or replacing parts, unplug the washer and follow proper safety precautions. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement damper, drain pump, shock absorber, suspension rod, suspension spring, or transmission for your specific washing machine.
01 - Crosley Washing Machine Damper
A washing machine damper helps to absorb the movement of the washer tub as it spins. If the damper is broken or missing, the tub might become unbalanced, causing it to shake and vibrate during the spin cycle. Inspect the damper for any damage and replace if necessary.

If the washer is vibrating or shaking only during the drain cycle, it's likely that the drain pump is partially obstructed or malfunctioning in some other way. You should inspect the pump for any debris lodged in the ports and replace the component if you suspect it is malfunctioning.
One or more of the shock absorbers might be broken or worn out. The shock absorbers dampen the vibration of the washer tub. If one or more of the shock absorbers are worn out, the washer will vibrate or shake. Sometimes, when a washer is moved to another location, the shock absorbers can separate. Check the shock absorbers to ensure that they are positioned correctly, and inspect them for damage and wear. If one or more of the shock absorbers are broken or worn out, we recommend replacing all of the shock absorbers as a preventative measure.
One or more of the suspension rods might be broken. The suspension rods help to dampen the movement of the washer tub. If one or more of the suspension rods are broken, the washer will vibrate or shake. To determine if the suspension rods are at fault, check the rods to determine if any of them are broken. If a suspension rod is broken, replace it.
One or more of the suspension springs might be broken. The suspension springs help to absorb the movement of the washer tub. If a suspension spring breaks, the tub might become unbalanced, causing it to shake and vibrate during operation. Inspect the suspension springs to determine if any of the springs are broken. If a suspension spring is broken, replace it.
If a top-load washer's inner tub is loose when you try and rotate it by hand, then it's likely the transmission could be worn out or damaged. Inspect the transmission and replace if necessary.
