Kenmore HE3 washer started knocking and shaking during spin.

My 5 year old Kenmore HE3 washer started seriously knocking and shaking during final spin. I stopped it immediately, but now it won't spin. It just turns real slow and that's it. It's level and steady when I try to move it. No codes. I think the stainless steel tub is looser than it used to be with more movement front to back.

the u-joint balancer kit needs to be replaced. it located under the wash plate where your clothes. its not the stainless steel. you might want to do a search to see if your model falls under the class action on this washer before you repair it

the inner drum is most likely broken. go to sears.com select appliances then select parts enter model number and you can get a blow up. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: Kenmore front loading HE3 makes knocking sounds during spin cycle

Ours started knocking several months ago and then progressed to a high pitched sound when in the spin cycle. I manually turned the drum and heard and felt a bearing roughness. I lifted the drum assembly and felt a fair amount of play, which I think the initial knocking noise came from. On the sears web site a new rear drum mount cost 293.00. Today we went and bought a LG model wm2455hw at Home depot, on sale until 2/20/08. I couldn't see paying to repair a machine that only lasted four years.

SOURCE: Kenmore HE3 will not HOLD water, drips out into the pedestal

check to see if there are any rips in the door seal,then take the bottom of the washer off you will see 3 screws holding it on. see if the water is coming out of the pump that is right behind the panel that you took off.

Noise during high speed spin cycle

sounds like the bearings need replaced, when replacing bearings you need to replace all of them to ensure proper function and life longevity.

Kenmore He3 sometimes sound like a jackhammer in spin cycle

Have you tried less items? It could be the load is not balanced. Try placing items around the tub evenly. This unit is about 12 yrs old so it could be a bearing.

Kenmore HE3

usually the only reason for this is out of level these machines spin very fast. if you have it on carpet it will also shake quite a bit it is best to cut a piece of plywood for the washer to sit on so it is easier to level up

WASHER SOUNDS LIKE AN AIRPLANE TAKING OFF DURING SPINE CYCLE

Most likely a failed "spinner" assy. The roaring that you hear is the bearing telling you it's had enough and has gone on strike.

MAJOR job! If it's over 5 years old, I recommend calling a professional and get quotes. Then decide what you want to do.

If it's less than 5 years old, it should be under warranty. Contact Sears. Tell them you have a failed spinner and tub bearing assy. and have them do the repair.

*Just a quick note. You should use only HE detergent in these machines.
