Joseph K. for Model Number WSXH208F0WW My front load washer was vibrating, walking and would not stop. Could this have been caused by a bad timer. The shocks appear to be okay. I took the timer out and reinstalled it. It was pretty banged up. However the machine started off good, I advanced the timer manually once but at the end the door would not unlock until I unpluged the machine.
Answer Hello Joseph. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the shocks WH17X10001 are weak and is causing the unit to vibrate. Check and make sure the tub bearing is good in the unit. The timer WH12X10152 does not control the vibration of the unit. Hope this helps. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Monday, July 25, 2011
