Admiral washer machine tub appears loose and unattached in rrear

Sounds like timer needs replacing

Hello,

Your water leak can come from 3 areas:

1) drain hose on back of washer is coming off / splitting / getting loose

2) water pump is leaking (cracked?) or has a gasket that has deteriorated.

3) hose between tub and water pump has come off / split / became loose.

Since your washer isn't able to hold water, it makes it easy to remove the clothes, and lean the washer forward to see what is going on. Most washers' mechanicals can be acessed from either the bottom, or from the back via access panel. The water leaks are generally a pretty easy repair.

Bad suspension or bad bottom tub welding. Call in the blue guy and he will fix it.

There are a few places that a washer could be leaking:

1) the water valve itself, it may be cracked (most are plastic), or the hose connecting it to the spout may be loose.

2) the hose from the water valve to the spout (as above) could be loose from spout or water valve. It also may be cracked or have a cut in it from wear on other parts.

3) the spout may be damaged or loose from the back plate making it misaligned so the water spills over the side of the tub.

4) the washtub may be missing a spring that keeps it centered in the machine causing the fill spout to spray water over the side of the washtub.

5) There may be a leak in the tub, pump, hoses for the pump (not likely since when it leaks)

That's all that there is to leak when it does not leak all the time. (if it were all the time you could throw the supply hoses and valves in the mix.

Hope that helps

MY KENMORE IS 15 YEARS OLD AND GOING STRONG STILL. PERSONALLY DON'T CARE FOR ALL THIS FANCY SCHMANCY DIGITAL COMPUTERIZED WASHER TECHNO. IT'S YOUR CHOICE IN THE END. GOOD LUCK

There is not a repair guide , sounds like a spring may have broke or came loose inside on the frame take the front panel off to check for loose parts.
it may just be an off balanced load as well.

Hi, * Inspect the water supply connections * Inspect the drain hose * Inspect the water pump * Inspect outer tub for cracks or corrosion * Inspect the tub seal * Inspect the tub bearing Pls rate my solution...

there are several drive belts for this model... check here to see if the one you are fitting is the correct one... also,is the tensioner siezed? causing the tension to be too slack therefore allowing the belt to shred at speed?

Hello calmtouch,

You said,
When in spinning cycle, the barrel begins to move all over banging the washer across the floor. I don't even know what to look for.
Help.

sounds like the coupling connecting the tub to the transmission may be loose and throwing the wash tub out of rotation causing the banging and walking washer.
Bless You
Huuum

may be a loose belt or a partial blockage somwhere.
