1980 Maytag tub/basket wobble on spin, tub off center when stopped
After removing the front panel I found one damper pad was hanging half out. After lifting the tub with a piece of 4x4 PVC found a second pad totally gone. Suggestions: use the 4x4 lift method works fine if you position the washer so you can remove the rear round access panels and work behind the washer to clean/install the rear pad. A sho rt piece (6" roughly) of 2x4 or similar works good to "prop" the whole tub forward to re-attach the front spring last. Replacing pads and belt didn't cure the tub/basket wobble but then tuning-adjusting the springs tensions nuts individually with (and without) a load in the tub on spin did re-center the tub and equalized-reduced somewhat (40%?) the amount of tub-basket spin balance wobble. Yes the washer is leveled very carefully in both axis. Replaced the original motor tension springs and (worn!) drive belt to hopefully extend the life. DEFINITELY worth the effort to keep my wife happy!!!!
