Older Kenmore washer question

[stan]

Also

just curious..
On these Kenmore machines, is there a off balance cut off?
Somewhere I got the idea that when there was a off balance situation, that the machine stopped, and that this feature was conducted through the lid switch? Honestly I can't remember where I heard that?
Maybe this model just keeps spinning?

Whirly/KM direct-drive units (& Roper, Estate, Inglis, Maytag, etc.) typically don't have have off-balance switches, except the Catalyst models and it's possible Sears spec'd for it on some higher-end models as an 'exclusive' feature as they sometimes do vs. the Whirlpool equivalents.

The Catalyst machines have a bump-switch on the rear panel unrelated to the lid switch so presumably that'd be the method on any model that has it.

Thank You DaDoES

For the pic, and explanation.

Talked to my friend today, agitator, is working well, and no leak at the new pump.
However there is another leak! Facing the machine, it comes from the left side, my friend say it only dose it when hot water is used? Not on warm or cold?
Pic below is pointing to where it leaks from.
I'm going over sometime soon to check it out.
Should I be suspicious of the tub seal?

Ordered

A tub seal, and should be here today or tomorrow. Hopefully that fixes the problem? Hopefully I can do this repair without too much trouble?
It strange that it only leaks when using hot water ?

BTW

This is what the machines control panel looks like. Just for I.D purposes!
