can you please give me the following information:
1] Is the inner tub ( the one that revolves when the machine is working) tilted and touching the outer tub ( the one the door rubber is fixed to) and does the inner tub turn freely, or is it rubbing on the outer tub?
2] is the door rubber sverely mishapen or distorted and not aligned with the door opening?
3] is the machine more noisy than normal?
4] Is the washing action normal or not?
If you have any of the problems from 1-3 above, then it is possible that you have danaged the inner tub or bearings.
If the wash action is NOT normal {No. 4}, it could also indicate a motor fault too.
One of the suspension dampers may have colapsed if the tub does not align with the door opening properly.
Without more information, or seeing the machine it is difficult do give a more positive diagnosis, but I hope this helps?
You will have to tilt the machine back as far as possible to access the bottom of the machine. Locate the drain pump and remove the hose that connects the pump to the tub, you will need to have a basin ready to catch any water. You most likely have a sock or something stuck. Hope this helps.
Yes, it's normal. It is a safety feature because of the hot water used during the tub clean cycle. It prevents the machine from opening while the tub clean cycle is in process.
this is a snubber problem your tub in held straight by 3 springs they go from the washer frame to the bottom of the tub one spring is unhooked; bet it was held by the screw
Hi pagrzych,
If the tub is getting out of ballance you can first make sure the rear automatic feet are leveled by tilting the washer forward and dropping it back down, the rear feet are made to automatically level when the machine is tilted forward. If after leveling you still have a problem the kenmore washers have springs that center the wash basket into place. Pull the washer out and tilt it back you should be able to see the springs on the back bottom of the wash tub. The are directly behind the motor and transmission. These springs can be easily replaced if broken or if they have came out of position. Good luck with your repair and I really hope this helped you. Please rate me if I helped.
Thanks

tub is suspended from spring mounts
springs stretch over time tub sags
remove top cover
locate spring mounts and adjust tensioning bolts tighter on sagging side
