Can you provide the exact Make, Model and Kenmore model number? Kenmore model numbers use the format ###.######## with the first three digits of 110 for Whirlpool manufactured machines. If this is a basic Kenmore top load, direct drive, it sounds like the drive block / spin tube but I cannot provide a solution without the full model number.

Open the top and observe the motion dampers in several corners--shake the tub, it should return to center by itself. Some are a small shock-absorber looking devices, others are spring balanced with flat plates rubbing together for damping. Sometimes the plates can climb on top of each other--push the tub to the side to bring the plates together properly. If you need any parts, go to: SearsPartsDirect.com They have drawings showing the relationship of parts as well as the part numbers for ordering.
