Question about Kenmore 23022 Top Load Washer

Washing Machine Dance

I just replaced my washer with a slightly used Kenmore washing machine. Everything works gret except on the spin cycle, the machine dances across the floor. I have evenly distributed the load, adjusted the feet and still the same problem. It is on a concrete floor and the older unit I had never had this problem. Any ideas ???

Cars, does the basket lean to one side? There might be a couple of issues. The coupler that seats between the motor and trans could be wollowed out causing vibration. Another is that one of the balance springs came off or broke. I'm going to attach a photo of the springs so you can see what this looks like. You can remove the whole cabinet to check things out or tip the washer back and take a look.

Ge washer whre5550k2ww tub wont spin

It may be the rotor position sensor. i used you tube tutorials. There are many washers that are the same, but different brand names. Matag, whirlpool, kenmore elite oasis, all the same and parts. I got lucky and a cleaning hack. It was to clean between the tob and thre shell. This is located up under where you cannot see, use a mirror and look wherr your detergent, fabric softer and bleach dispensers are. And i found a tutorial on diagnosting code that will do it for you. I think it was holding a cycle 5x for 5 seconds and it will tell you. Whats wrong, Good Luck

Washer fills with water but will not continue with the wash cycle. There is power to the machine because I can her an electrical humming when I try to start the cycle.

If the water in the machine empties when you move the selector to spin but does not spin, you may have a machine that uses a coupler to connect the motor to the transmission (many Kenmore models and others). When the coupler fails, and they do, then everything will work except for the agitator. If this is the case, you can see it if you flip the unit over and look.

Kenmore 80 series will agitate but not spin or let water out.

Hi, I know washer had a party, he just need a dancing partner, joking, that's a common problem, when machine is not properly level, you should used spirit level, to level machine, after leveling machine, place both hands on machine, and try to rock it from left to right, forward and backward, and it should not have any play, if there's play adjust legs to compensate, water has to be pumped out first before machine spins, rhere's something wrong with water pump, maybe some fabric stuck in pump impeller, or maybe wires disconnected from water pump, remove back of machine and check connection to water pump, check for kink hoses, visual check, if wire were remove, connect to water pump, you're smart. good luck.

The pressure switch is mis-reporting the water level to the ECU.

Test/replace the pressure switch.

I have a kenmore top loader it will do everything except empty water and spin when it reaches this point nothing happens and there is no sound at all

Probably a bad lid switch. Open the control console and use a insulated jumper wire to jump out the lid switch connector and try the spin cycle. If it works, replace the lid switch.
If not, replace the timer.
