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.
