Hey Guys;
I recently had a DD Kenmore 80 series given to me.
The problem w/ this machine is, when it stops spinning, I mean it STOPS. This to the point of banging the tub into the cabinet.

I have never done anything w/ this type machine, is there some adjustment that is needed?

Any assistance/suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks ! !
Al :>

It could be one of two problems with these machines;

1. Could be broken or worn suspension springs.

2. Suspension plate pads needs to be replaced.


You'll need to get a manual to help make this kind of repair.
"Do it yourself repair manual for Kenmore Automatic washers" {Direct Drive}

It can be found on ebay from time to time or from your Sears repair/parts centers....

Good luck!

The brake shoes are too tight. You can either change the spring in the brake assy or squirt some oil up there.

abrupt braking

Those of us with older Norge or Wards Signature washers are used to ABRUPT (and LOUD) braking of the tub :-)
