2005 Whirlpool Gold DD Washer Shaking Excessively During Spin

Does anyone know what might be causing the banging and shaking during spins...even with an empty tub?

Make sure it's level. Check the counterweight spring, #15. Sometimes the lower attachment hole rusts out. If that is the case, drill a new hole and reattach the spring. Check the three horizontal tub springs, #3. Check the alignment of the suspension plate, #17, (skate plate). Could also be a worn out drive block (secures tub to basket drive tube), severely worn or broken damper pads, #16/18, on the skate plate and/or base assembly. Could be that the metal portions that ride on the damper pads are gummed up.
