Good afternoon. Since I have had this washer, I have noticed the water spout doesn't always align with the tub. I don't expect it to be perfect, but at least within reason. The brake tub assembly was just replaced by myself and the issue persisted beforehand. When the washer was rebuilt for me, I was told all suspension springs were new. I was thinking about switching the springs, but they seem impossible to remove, even with my pliers. Attached are some pictures.
First photo shows the wash basket when its sitting idle. Second photo shows it during spin (it appears center as it should) Third photo is just a different angle while its sitting idle. Any input is greatly appreciated. |

I would double check that the back panel which has the water spout connected to it is fully in place under the cabinet, it’s very easy to get it off by a little bit when putting the cabinet back onto the frame. I did that accidentally and when it would go into spin not even unbalanced the back panel would shake like hell, it was so loud you could probably hear it from Australia. Just needed to adjust it and all was good afterwards. Best of luck.
