I’ve had a washing machine just like that one. Absolutely loved it. My wife also loved doing large loads of laundry. I recommend buying replacement suspension rods for your model. It’s very common for them to break, and it always happens at the worst possible time. But after you’ve spent an hour replacing one, the next one can be swapped in 5mins.
Yes. The drum has 4 rods with springs built in around it so a slightly imballanced load spins they catch and correct the weight. On my model you just compressed the spring and popped the rod into place. But the springs would occationally explode, or the rod would bend. If you notice the drum leaning one way or making funny noises, that’s likely the problem.
The tough part on mine was figuring out how to open the top. It hinged up like a trash can, but you had to muscle it a bit and it was new and I didn’t want to break it, so it took longer to open than it should have the first time.
There’s a ton of youtube videos walking you through it step by step.

Are they an easy fix?
