There is a terrible thumping noise and vibration when in use.
The washer makes a loud thumping noise with vibration. It feels like the washer will suddenly blow up. Any suggestions on the problem and how to fix it ?

If your Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine is making strange noises, see the Kenmore 110 Series Washing Machine Makes Unusual Noises problem page for possible causes and solutions.
Kevin, if the noise is in the agitation cycle and not in the spin cycle, you most likely have issues with your transmission which could cause the problem. If it is always making that noise, it is possible that you have issues with the direct drive coupler, it is between the transmission and the motor. The drive coupler is made up of two plastic parts, one sits on the transmission and the other one is on the motor. Take a look at this site for more information on that. However, there are two types for this model, a direct drive and a belt drive. So, you will have to take a quick look at it and see what you have. Hope this helps, good luck.
