Thanks. That's what I thought. The 225 lb figure comes from here: www.kenmore.com/products/... |

I guess with my bionic arm, I forget how much these weight as I have two of them, and lift them myself in and out of the Jeep taking them to events for show and tell...
Walmart is showing these machines from 1.0 cuft capacity at 43lbs...and the 1.7 at upwards of 77lbs.... also, if you don't add a link, an icon wont show up to check for one.... |

Thats not even the same model in the above pic. The one in the link is a completely different animal altogether. The one in the above pic is agitator based and the link one is impeller based. The washer in the Whirlpool version is LCE4332P and weighs a whopping 85 lbs and with water filled to High and clothes...max weight is 260 lbs total.
The above washer uses a rod and spring suspension system and it could be that one of the rods is out of the holder in one of the 4 corners. There are 4 rods in this washer. This washer is also called a "World Washer" since more than likely it had its birthplace in Brazil. Its also belt driven. |

Kenmore Washer 44722 Model Number 110.44722400 Serial Number CRR4306120 Despite being level and having balanced loads, washer vibrates a lot during spin cycle. What should I look for to fix this? Thanks |

I know this washer from soul... Suspension arms worn or missing the coils. Or the plastic sleeve is broken. Simple as that, super easy fix. Also check if the motor counterweight is on it's place.... if it falls, the motor weigh causes an unbalance. |

Forgot to mention... i don't remember how are the top covers in the american version... Maybe it may have two screws on the front corner or just a clamp that you lift the cover and push it from the back to the front. |

BTW, thsi washer isn't the lightest ever, but it's never that heavy... unless it's full of water up to the top. |

Thanks. How do I check the motor for an intact counter-weight? |

That was my first guess... They can break by fatigue or overload or simply because they got too old and brittle. Easy fix. even easier... |

Thanks thomasortega referenced the motor counterweight: "Also check if the motor counterweight is on it's place.... if it falls, the motor weigh causes an unbalance." How do I check the motor and the drum counterweight? |

The counterweight is a metal block attached to the tub, opposite to the motor. But as mentioned above, the straps are missing (probably broken, so you'll find a piece of them right down the suspension arm and another piece hanging on the top of the tub) Missing straps is the very first cause of OOB. |
