Hi,

Our Kenmore 80 series washing machine is starting to make a loud noise
during the spin cycle. It's hard to describe - kind of a cyclical
noise. Sounds like a belt problem to me but I don't really know much
about these thinks.

The machine is probably 5 years old.

Any ideas what might be the cause? Is it worth repairing or is it time
for a new machine?

Thanks in advance,
Steve

If you had a repair manual in front of you, specific to that exact machine,
how likely is it you'd fix it yourself?

I could probably handle it but would rather call a repair man to save
time and aggravation of doing it myself.

And another question: Do you have a decent public library system nearby?

When that happened to mine the cause was a loose levelling leg. The
welded-on nut that this leg screwed into had parted from its weld.
The fix was to drill a new hole for the leg and secure the leg with a
washer and nut on both sides of the appliance's frame. The fix was
good for the last 15 years and the washing machine works just fine.
