samurairepairman I have a set of Kenmore HE3 appliances for washing clothing, the matching washer and the dryer of course. I like them a lot and have had them for five years. They've served me well. However, ever since installing a drawer pedestal under both, the washer had taken to frequently hopping and jumping around on the floor while in the spin cycle. It's not a good thing, and I needed a fix.

Luckily after some creative Google work I found this web site: Fixitnow.com, Samurai Appliance Repair Man. It's a blog with lots and lots of entries describing how to resolve common issues with various appliances, including mine. It gave me the information I needed to fix the problem. So I'm bookmarking it here on my blog for the benefit of others and - undoubtedly - for my own future reference.

Thanks, Samurai Repair Guy!

My new frontloader is a Kenmore HE2Plus---wanted a frontloader as we have a well & they use a lot less water. When my washer was delivered, the outside panel of the door was shattered---they ordered a new door---which has been backordered for over a month. In the meantime, my husband & I came up with a fix for the 'walking' washer. He brought a rubber mat in from his garage---supposed to make standing on concrete a little more comfortable-------& we put that under my washer. So far, even though it still vibrates a good bit, it has not walked off the rubber mat or moved the mat. And now I don't have to stand out there while it runs to try to hold it in place. I had never read anywhere---Consumer Reports, etc.,----before I bought it that it would do this. I hope this continues to be a fix!!!
