Our old Kenmore washing machine goes out of balance easily like the springs aren't tight enough. I need to make sure the springs are hooked in correctly. I need a diagram for Kenmore model # 110.82683810 serial # C64103712 of the tub and how the tub connects to the springs and frame.

It may be a broken spring holding the wash cylinder centered or you are over loading the machine.

The tub is out of alignment.The suspension springs are weak and must be tight, the tub must not shake,if so the dampers are faulty.
This suspension must be so rigid that it must not shake around freely . check the pulley arangement , the bearings at the bottom spindle, if out of balance. If there is any anomalies in this ddrive section it must be observed and checked.
A careful analysis is most important to having a first hand information.

there are three or four balancing springs under the drum attached to the frame and drum carriage chances are that one of these springs has broken or come undone they only realy do alot during the spin cycle if you are ambitious turn off the water and unplug the washer pull the back off and have a look see underneath if you do find a broken spring with a pair of pliers bend a new loop in the spring and hook it back up Good Luck

This is a different one for sure,,, my guess here is the machine is out of balance for some reason. I would look to see if the three springs that hold the tub at the bottom are connected correctly to the frame, screws tight and all. and there will be one larger spring toward the rear that connects down low,,, make sure it is there and is connected too.
Only other thing could be the plastic and rubber coupling between the motor and transmission is damaged and need to be replaced. You must remove the motor to check this part for damage or wear.

It is possible the rear counter balance spring has come off or the hole that the spring hooks onto has rusted. If the spring hook end has broken off you can often just bend a new hook part with a couple of pairs of pliers. If the hole in the washer frame has rusted, you will need to drill a new hole to hook the rear balance spring into. If the spring "took off" somewhere and is now missing, time for a new spring.

Ok you need to check your machine is level- if not adjust feet. You aslo need to check the Bias spring is still attached if not get a new one or re-attach it. The Bias spring is a little spring that connects from the top of the front left suspention rod to the top of the plastic bowl cover (this spring is meant to help stop it going out of balance so easy. Cheers

to cause unit to go off balance taking in fact that you put clothes in washer even...check your counter balance spring it hold the tub to base at rear of unit,,,and check your balance ring at the top of your wash basket its fill with water if cracked will cause this problem,,

Hiya .. would suggest you having a look at the balance around the drum, ( normally heavy concrete blocks)... locate the fixing bolts and tighten them up ....should sort your prob.
Also make sure that the washer is fairly even and tight on its legs.. this is what usually causes the problem in the first place..

I have a Performa Model PAV3200AWW that would go unbalanced every time it would go into a spin cycle. I found the problem to be a worn out snubber. This is a plastic ring that is at the pivot point for the whole tub. It separates the metal to metal contact at the bottom of the washer pivot point. The part is less than ten dollars, but it is a quit a job to replace. I had to remove the whole tub to replace mine, but it did solve the problem. If you see a lot of plastic shavings around the pivot point, then this could be your problem.

Sounds like your front to back spring is pulling to tight, sometimes you need to replace it and sometimes you can take it off and stretch it. hope this helps
