Our Kenmore Calypso 110.21082 is making a thumping sound in the wash cycle but not during the spin cycle. Seems to thump a little louder with every load. Any suggestions?

Sounds like one of the balancing springs either broke or came off.

What is the model number of your unit?

Hopefully you removed the packing bolts on the back of the machine, there is 4 bolts that hold the drum from moving during shipping.

make sure the shiping rod is out it will do that if it,s not out

it must be due to the damaged belt inside the motor. check it out.
thank you

You need to replace the drive block and basket drive. You can download a tutorial to get you started at www.shop.washermd.com. The gearcase replacement tutorial will put you in the right direction. Dave

Mine is doing the same thing. I opened it up to see what was happening and it was the drive belt tension arm bumping around. Soon, the belt started slipping during the spin cycle. Now it won't spin and the belt starts to smolder from the friction of the drive motor. If you haven't checked your belt, that's a good place to start.

make sure all shipping pins are out the tub should move all around from side to side if it level still bangs its eather the balance ring top basket are there 3 slides on a plate above the motor just put some silacone oil on tham move around

Yes the brakes are grabbing too hard....I will sometimes lubricate them....Or replace the basket drive assy. You do know how to take the cabinet off i take it??

Rankine, sounds more like a worn drive block that sits under the basket. Usually the brake will not make a thumping sound. Attached is a couple of pictures. Check this out first...Catriver..post back.
