Thanks so much, John, and DadDoes! Decided to replace her. Thank so much for your help with my Kenmore 110 washer. After further research, I think the issue is the clutch. Given the expense of the clutch and age of the washer (31), I’ve decided to replace her. I am really sad. I was hoping to...

One more thought: Grommet under skate plate? Hi again, As I was looking at the skate plate, I noticed that this rubber grommet under there was dry and seemingly out of place. Does this have anything to do with my issues? If so, it looks difficult to replace.

Thanks so much John! Checked skate plate also Thanks so much John! I was hoping it was a misplaced skate plate but it seems lined up. I took another video in case you see anything obvious. The plate moved with the tub. Would you recommend a specific direct drive machine if I have to go that...

Not worth repairing? John, Thanks for the info! I got the washer used last year, so I don’t know how much use it’s seen. It’s in great shape overall with little to no rust. I replaced a 2016 Samsung with this because I wanted something all mechanical. I also wanted a Whirlpool-made machine. The...

Socket attachment to drill didn’t work eithe Still super tight

Trying to take out agitator: nut won’t budge! Hello! I thought I’d try the easier of the two options, taking out the agitator, first. I’ve used PB Blaster and WD 40 on the nut throughout the day but it just won’t budge. I tried pounding my ratchet, as it’s on the nut, with a hammer to loosen...

Video of the spin cycle with lid open and no clothes Hello! I posted that video. The lid banging is so loud. I pushed it toward the controls and hopefully it’s quiet enough for you to hear. Thanks so much!

Skate plate looks super difficult to replace I am hoping it’s not the skate plate! Is that what these machines have instead of suspension rods?

Thanks so much John! I’ve filmed another video of it, after the snubber pads were replaced and with nothing in it. The basket does move a bit when I move in, as seen in the video. I’m trying to understand what I should try next. I am not quite sure what to look for if I remove the agitator and...

One Question: Do these washers have suspension rods? I was wondering if this might be the problem. If they don’t have suspension rods, do you think whatever they have instead could be worn out?

Thanks so much for the help and vidro Hello! Just wanted to say thank you for the video on the pads. It was easy to follow! We replaced the pads and it’s still agitating roughly and the lid is banging like in my video. I’ll investigate some of the other thoughts raised here. Thanks again for...

Kenmore 110 Washer Lid Banging—Needs New Hinge Bumpers? Hello! I’ve spent some time with my washer. It was banging because my kids were putting too much in and it was a bit off balance from front to back. It is better now that it’s balanced, but the lid is banging loudly now. If you hold the...

One other thing about the noise You’ll note in the video that the washer gets significantly quieter. That’s because I’m holding the lid down and not allowing it to vibrate and rattle. Thank you!

Video of Washer Banging Thanks so much for your reply! I was able to upload the video on You Tube and the link is below. The washer is at an angle because it moved itself into that spot despite rubber pads under the washer’s feet. Thanks again for your help!!
