Have a balancing problem with an 8 year old SQ toploader. It is the electronic control series. The machine within the last year goes unbalanced with almost every load, no matter how many clothes are put in, and they seem to always be tangled into knots, no matter how you load the clothes. Is there a problem with the machine, to make it all of a sudden start doing this.
Also when unbalanced, it would stop and alert you, but not any more, it just sits and bangs around. Could the unbalance switch need replacing, because I also can't understand why it doesn't stop itself anymore. Any help would be appreciated /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Sounds like a broken or weak spring(s). Also an 8 year old toploader probably needs rebuilding.

the tangled in knots would make me check the brake pads. The frequent unbalance I would check to see if any oil, or something got onto the snub pads.
