If you turn the tub manualy without any load in it, is there a sloshing sound? |

willing to bet one of the bolts has snapped off, or come loose that hold the tub to the spider.....
there are 6 baffles in the tub......the three along the back have to come out to see the nuts, some have a Phillip's head, others have a hex head screw.....there should be two for each baffle, remove and check to make sure all three nuts are tightened down... let us know how you make out.... |

this is puzzling......
what about also the 3 switches that tell the computer its balanced, technically when it starts to shake like that, one of the switches would be touching the cabinet detecting an out of balance condition, and slow the machine down to redistribute the load until it balances, and then try it again... I think the top one is a mercury switch, then there should be a push in type/trigger switch on the right side, and one on the bottom.... may sound stupid, but is that harness plugged in...... at this point were looking for anything odd.... |

I had a similar prob with my neptune. I took the front cover off and found both tub displacement switches. I depressed them both fully in and let them pop back out several times. I noticed one was kind of hanging up on it'sit's way back out.
Seemed to clear out whatever error was there as the machiene started working normally again. |
