My favorite teacher of all time asked me a question that I really don't know the answer to about her BD Kenmore washer. She told me that she threw a rug in (YIKES!) and left the machine alone to go while she took a shower. (DOUBLE YIKES!!!) Anyway, she told me that when she finished her shower, she went downstairs and found that the machine had walked about 2 feet forward... How a BD Kenmore can possibly walk is beyond me, however, she said that after that load, she noticed the suspension was very very loose and she could move the tub around in the cabinet very easily. Any ideas what it could be? My first guess would be that she broke the snubber off, that happened to mine last time I did a little work on it... Thanks for any help!!!

I agree...without the snubber putting downward tension on the tub ring, it would float in all directions fairly easily. |

She better give you an A+ for fixing the problem, and saving her the cost of a repairman who would have charged her, and perhaps scammed her into replacing parts that still work. Have a good one, James |
