Already spent an hour surfing the web for information. But this unit is 25+ yrs old and I haven't found a video yet on how to take the top part off to access the tub area. From what I've read so far a suspension spring probably broke, causing the tub to tilt about 2" forward to the right. The machine was getting read to spin dry (tub empty of excess water) and then my wife heard a loud bang. It was off when she got there. The tub takes about 20 lbs-ft of force to recenter it by hand....so that would seem to be a spring failure.
The top has a pair of fixed reverse "s" clips to allow rotation upwards of 90 degrees. Can't locate any release spring clips in the front of the top panel to unlock it. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
