Yep, if you're sure its level and still out of balance, then you'll have to open it up. Could be a suspension spring is slipped out of place or one of the balance pads has shifted or come out.

Most top loader tops are held together with spring catches in the front and slide bars in the back so that it can be tilted up for inspection. The screws are to hold the control panel to the top. A putty knife slid into the front should pop the top free, it is a very strong spring catch. Look for something like this: http://www.repairclinic.com/0081.asp?RccPartID=669300 Is the tub itself very easy to move side to side, does it stay to one side or the other? If so, there are springs that are either broken or disconnected. -- Grandpa |
