    Kenmore 80 Washing Machine Off-Balance
    My wife washed a blanket that broke apart mid wash and clogged up the tub. I disassembled the tub and washed everything out. Put it back to gather and the tub rotates but wobbles. I checked the springs and counter weights but the washer still break dances. I need assistance with pictures if possible. Thanks!

    Are you sure all spring etc are connected correctly? Is the tub reassembled correctly? These are things that would cause the tub to wobble. Kenmore and Whirlpool are the same and on direct drive there is a unique liquid balancing system built into the basket. Around the top of the basket is a "ballast" compartment which is filled with a special liquid. When the basket spins the liquid inside this compartment moves around to dampen any imbalance. Remove the basket to inspect. Basket removal requires a spanner tool Once out on the outside of the basket will be a fill hole which is plugged. If the hole is leaking the basket must be replaced. Good Luck Hope the instructions apply to your model
