    I wish Sears made the front panel easier to remove to clean the pump motor filter basket. Which should be done every so often, some of the newer model have a access door but I still love my washer 20 plus years old.

      my front shocks just went bad and the machine vibrated violently off its concrete base on the floor! it was on its side when i raced down to the basement.. i bought my machine in 2005 at Sears and i guess i could buy an replacement but somehow i still love my Kenmore Elite.. it seems like such a solid machine!

    Clear instructions. Thank you! I would recommend replacing all four at the same time (I am not a professional).

    Can you access the two rear shocks once the front lower panel is removed? Thanks.

    Awesome video, thanks a ton, much easier than I thought. So, the next question is how do I tell which shock is bad of the four?

      Replace them all if your washer is older like mine. 15 years. The from left was moving in the slot on the frame and making a lot of noise. I replaced it and the noise was gone but the vibration was still there. It needed all four.

    You mention on the video to turn the mount "COUNTER" clockwise, but you actually turn the mount clockwise to remmove.
