Possible solutions... level, if on pedestal, make sure its tightly secure to washer, wash like size materials, larger items might wrap smaller items causing a ball or heavier on one side.. good luck.

My Kenmore Elite Front Loading Washer is shaking very bad when it's on the spin cycle. When i level it, it's ok for a while but slowly goes back to skaking again. Any Ideas?

there are struts on the bottom of the drum and springs on top. may try replacing these but I think if you level it well and make sure the feet are tightened down well it should stay quiet. it the feet are not tightened well they will vibrate and come out of adjustment

Kenmore Elite tub shaking badly

Check the Vibration damper rods to be sure that...
1. They are there and mount is solid.
2. If they are broken in 1/2.
3. The plastic knuckle mounts are not missing/broken.
4. There is oil in the shock absorber/spring section of the rods.

Also - there are suspension springs on the bottom of the tub that could be broken and/or missing.

Replace/repair as necessary.

Kenmore Elite 137889, grinding noise

If the noise is like a shaking of rattling , like coins being shaked , then it is an object trapped inside the tub.

If instead the noise is a loud grinding , that may get louder on high speed, then it is usually a bad drum bearing.

The drum bearing is replaced by accessing the bottom side of the washer, and is a not a simple repair.

Tub spins out of round

When that happens it is usually because of a drum bearing problem, have it replaced before this damages more parts.

My front load kenmore elite 110.45872 shakes during spin cycle

your basket shaft is broken or the bearing are bad it probably sounds like a freight train when it goes into high spin you need your washer rebuilt but it would be cheaper to buy a new washer. to rebuild the washer it will cost aleast 800 dollars
