basket runout. should not vibrate running empty...Watch for wobble as the basket starts to rotate-probably some spots of corrosion or bent basket hub is the cause.The fix will be easy no matter what the cause is :) | ||

there have been a few cases of even just letting the machine spin with an empty tub, it will spin fine, and then have these short burst of going off balance and banging the cabinet....
for whatever reason, somewhat normal, it happens, can't figure out why, some machines do it, others do not.... we have dont tricks of removing the tub, and turning it 1/4 way and reinstalling it, or removing the balance ring.....sometimes it worked, other times not.... | ||

 There's no adjustment on attaching the springs. The bracket screws are either property tightened or they're not. The three springs are identical so no concern about which is where. One of the brackets is different, longer, it goes at the back for attaching the motor counterbalance spring. Is the counterbalance spring properly in place? | ||

When you picked the whole assembly up trying to get the wash basket out chances are it didn’t sit back down correctly on the skate plate thus the rigidity. It’s simple to fix but hard to explain how to do it but I’ll try. The skate plate is triangular and sits on the base assembly with one point to the front left, one to the front right, and one to the back. Remove the three springs and pick the assembly up and make sure the skate plate is positioned properly before setting back down. It never hurts to have an extra set of hands.
