A couple of months ago the machine started making a loud noise. I determined that it was the water pump and replaced it with a new one. Everything working normally after the pump was replaced but lately the clothes are still pretty wet after the spin / complete cycle is complete. I replaced the belt but that did not help. I also removed the hose leading from the tub to the pump and confirmed that there is no blockage and did the same with the discharge hose.
I am out of tricks so i thought i would ask the experts (you). One thing I noticed is that the motor is not firmly secured to the frame. It seems to move around on springs, etc. I am not sure if any of the screws / nuts / bolts need to be tightened. Could it be that the motor is slipping?
Any help, ideas, encouragement would be appreciated!!!!!
Thank you

The motor is supposed to pivot, that is how the "clutch" works. Operate it with the front panel off and see if it is spinning at a good speed.
Also, your pump may have failed again, but that would be unusual.

Thanks for the reply. i checked the motor and the pump and they both seem to be working properly. The machine was running today and i noticed it was making a lot of noise during the spin cycle. i opened the lid and saw that the tub was moving back and forth (unbalanced). There was a heavy towel in the drum so I moved it around. The machine started up again and it was running more balanced and the clothes cam out much dryer. The problem with wet clothes started recently so there may be something worn in the suspension. I know there are springs that hold the tub down to the frame and maybe they need to be replaced? Could be other parts also, I will take a look at the diagrams and see. Thank you!
