    • Appliantology Live Dojo, Saturday, 4/27/2024 @10 AM ET
      27 April 2024 02:00 PM Until 03:00 PM
      5  
      All Appliantology tech members are invited to join in this workshop on all things Appliantological. 
      We have a special session planned for this one. Instead of the usual Show 'n Tell on a technical topic, we're going to post tech sheets in the comments to this Calendar Event (scroll down to see what's posted so far) and ask specific questions that can only be answered by reading the tech sheet. If you at least try to answer the questions beforehand, you'll get a lot more out of it. The tech sheet and the questions are posted in the comments section below.
      Your mission, if you should choose to accept it, is to check out the questions for each one and try to answer them ahead of time. Then come to the Dojo to see how well you did! 
      Who: This workshop is only available to tech members at Appliantology.
      When: Saturday, April 27 @10:00 AM Eastern Time.
      Where: Online via Zoom
      How:
      Click here to go to the forum topic with the registration link. If you're interested, register now. Arrive a couple minutes early to make sure your connection is working. Set a reminder for yourself for this workshop so you don’t miss it.  And check out past workshops here: https://appliantology.org/announcement/33-webinar-recordings-index-page/

broken spring on old Kenmore washer

One of the suspension springs on our old Kenmore front-load washer broke so I replaced them both. Now it seems to me that there is more movement front to back in the drum than there was before.  Is there some part that limits this movement that maybe I missed when when I did the repair?

Did you check the shocks at the bottom of the tub? If the spring broke there is a very good chance you broke one or both of the shocks.

Did you move the plastic sleeves over to the new spring? If not, the spring will wear through tub hole and/ or cabinet mount. Part numbers for upper and lower sleeve 131595500 and 131560000. BTW this has nothing to do your current problem. It is to prevent future problems.
