There are several springs in the machine and it sounds like one of them that you cannot see has broken. To get an idea about the problem, drain the machine and unhook it, lay it down so that you can see what is going on from the bottom of it.
Thanks! I had tilted it up enough to get a look under it earlier today after I wrote the question and a rod with a huge spring at bottom fell down. It has a hook on top end and so I assume either it just jumped out during the violent spinning off balanced this morning, or what ever it hooks into up at the top broke. The mount on bottom is not broken so it looks like all I need to do is hook the rod back at the top. That small little spring that I mentioned is attached to top of tub frame may fasten to that rod that fell out as a guide but not strong enough to hold it up. I did find online diagrams of the parts to my machine and I think my next step will be to figure out how to get the top off so I can see what that rod is suppose to hook into.
