I replaced the motor coupling myself too. Now spin cycle is very unbalanced. Washer is totally level on a cement floor, both front-to-back and side-to-side. Rear leveler legs are working as they should. It seems like the baket is moving all over the place. Any suggetions?I replaced the motor coupling myself too. Now spin cycle is very unbalanced.

does it agitate???. if it does not then you need the motor coupling. you need to remove the cabinet, yes, I said the cabinet, remove the pump,motor and you got to the coupling. replace all part in kit. reassemble and test. go to the website of sears parts WITH THE COMPLETE MODEL. and get the part. model starts like 110.xxxxxxxxxxx
Considering the info you`ve provided, specific to the history of replacing the drive coupling. You stated that right after replacing the coupling it started to smoke or as you said "I started to smell a burning smell". Can you identify if it was electrical, or was it rubber/plastic ?
I`ve seen these coupling`s when not put on correctly start to rub against the motor or the transmission, you might want to double check your work with installing the coupling.
Aside from that it could possibly be the motor, but if it agitates and manages to advance through the wash & rinse cycle up to the spin, I`d be skeptical of a motor problem. You should check to make sure the lid switch is being fully closed, in the event it isn`t closed properly the unit will do everything except spin.
THIS IS A TYPICLE PROBLEM . BETWEEN THE MOTOR & THE TRANSMISSION THERE IS A COLLECTOR ASSEMBY (THREE PIECE
SET) REAL EASY TO GET TOO EASY TO FIX . ALSO COST EFFICENT
if it agitates but will not spin it sounds like you either have a bad lid switch or clutch. check your lid switch first when opening and closeing the lid do you hear a click sound?
Replace the motor coupling between the motor and transmission its very easy if you tilt the machine back and remove the two screws holding the motor brackets.
looks like you have a defective motor or a leaked load capacitor .....you need to get the motor rewired....or get a new motor for your washer..... have the capacitor checked....
but ya the issue is 1 of the 2....faulty cap/motor
I replaced the motor coupling myself too. Now spin cycle is very unbalanced. Washer is totally level on a cement floor, both front-to-back and side-to-side. Rear leveler legs are working as they should. It seems like the baket is moving all over the place. Any suggetions?
Can you tell me what you did when you replaced the motor coupling? Just walk me through the steps.
