I'm looking at a WTW5000DW1 that has been making extremely loud banging noises during spin cycles for quite some time now. I replaced the four spring hangers with no effect. Here's a video of the test mode low spin cycle with the lid open : https://photos.app.goo.gl/yCD4gQa5JAUUkMc59
I have run the calibration cycle with no change in behavior.
There are no stored error codes. Self test mode completes without any problems/errors.
If I run the high speed test cycle, the thing feels like it's trying to destroy the house. Wife is sure the machine has evil spirits living in it that come out during spin cycles.
To me it looks like the tub is extremely unbalanced for some reason, but I don't know if this is just a bit of 'normal' wiggle or not.
Any ideas as to what to check out/replace next to fix this possessed machine?
Thanks for any help -
