Make sure that the washer is properly leveled. Press down on the diagonally opposing corners and check for up and down play. The washer will shake and vibrate if those leveling legs are not stable. Resolving that type of issue could fix your vibration problem in some situations. You may have already done that but it is worth mentioning.

The images below (4 pages) show the procedure for replacing the suspension springs in this washer. Even if those springs are not disconnected, you may need to replace them to fix this vibration problem. You may also need to replace those shocks. Be sure that you unplug the washer before accessing internal components.

If needed, you can order parts from the Sears PartsDirect website.

There are shipping bolts available through that Sears PartsDirect.com source that you should install in the washer if you ever move it again in the future.

If you need more help, reply with additional details and the full model number of that Kenmore Elite HE4t washer.

This can sometimes be a difficult problem to repair. If you get to the point where you need to have a service technician fix this vibration issue, you can schedule service through this link: Sears Home Services .
