How can I stop my washing machine from shaking wildly when in spin cycle?

I have a Kenmore Ultra Fabric Care washing machine. It has suddenly started to shake like crazy when on the spin cyle. Upon examination, it seems like the tub is not anchored properly, as is perhaps maybe a belt broke or who knows what.
Also, how do you remove the panel on the back of the machine, just to inspect it?

Hello Military Wife and Mom,

The usual cause of this type of thing; the clothes inside of washer have shifted to one side of the tub, to remedy this--turn washer off--open lid and move articles inside- distribute them as evenly as possible.

Another cause can be if you are washing one large article (rug/blanket,etc). The washer will be more apt to go unbalanced with this situation.
Even when washing one large item--just open lid and try to distribute article evenly as possible and restart.

Hope this helps

In Christ,
