Kenmore Washer is unbalanced
A Kenmore washer that is unbalanced may shake, vibrate too much, move during spin, or even walk across the floor. The most likely cause is that the washer is not level. Check that all four leveling feet touch the floor firmly and that the cabinet does not wobble. Adjust the leveling feet as needed, then use a bubble level to confirm the washing machine is level from front to back and side to side. A washing machine that is off balance can also appear to have a load-balancing problem, but correct leveling should be the first step. If the washer keeps going off balance after the feet are adjusted, inspect the floor and confirm the appliance can sit securely in place. If the machine cannot be leveled, the leveling foot or another support component may need replacement, or service may be required. Enter your Kenmore washer model number to find the exact replacement leveling foot or other compatible part for your specific washing machine. RepairClinic carries Kenmore washing machine parts and repair help for many top-load and front-load models.
