Default Waser Unbalanced?
Brand: Amana
Age: 5 - 10 years

New to this forum, can't seem to find the problem with our washer. It goes out of balnce very easily, and extremely easy if it is a small load. Any thought as to what the problem may be?

Yes, the M/N is LW8303W2. In the past I have changed out the timer as it would go through the wash cycle without agitating--a new timer fixed that problem. I wondered if it might be a timer again but this time it might start spinning before the water is all pumped out. ???

When you open the lid of the washer is the tub leaning?

You may have a worn snubber.

The snubber is a ring that slides on the base of the washer.

If you push the tub in any direction it should center itself.

Here is a link to your washer model LW8303W2.
