This suspension spring is a genuine OEM replacement part for a variety of washers and washer-dryer combos. The primary purpose of the suspension spring is to support the outer tub and keep the tub steady during loads that could cause an unbalance. If this part breaks, is worn down, or has stretched out and lost its spring, it could cause the load to be off-balance which can lead to excessive shaking, moving, noise, and leaks. This part is approximately 2 inches in length when compressed, made of durable metal, and is sold individually. For this repair, you will need a 1/4 nut driver, putty knife, flat blade screwdriver, and a pair of needle-nose pliers. Before you begin, disconnect the power, fill hoses, and drain hose to give you easy and safe access (drain hose may release some water, have a small container or towel near by). Your appliance contains 3 suspension springs, so keep this in mind if you need to order multiple of this part. We suggest you purchase several at a time, as they can be very useful to have on-hand.

This tub spring is a genuine OEM replacement part for your washing machine and is sold individually. There are other names that the tub spring goes by, such as the suspension spring, balance spring, or counterweight spring. The purpose of this spring is to ensure that the tub sits straight during the spin cycle, and it does this by counterbalancing the weight of the motor. If the spring has broken, it will cause the tub to be off-balance, which can make the washer shake and become noisy when spinning. An off-balance tub can also cause damage to other components of your washer, so it should be fixed quickly. If your model of washing machine has more than one tub spring, they should all be replaced at the same time as they tend to wear evenly. The tools you will need to complete this repair are a pair of pliers, a Philips screwdriver, and a flat blade screwdriver. Please be sure to disconnect the power supply to your washer before beginning this repair.

This is a pack of three suspension pads for your washer. The suspension pads in your washer are found underneath the tub and prevent the rotating metal parts from grinding on one another. If your suspension pads are worn out, you will likely hear metal-on-metal grinding, which is an indication they need to be replaced. It is recommended to replace all three suspension pads at the same time.

Keep your washer running smoothly with this suspension spring set, which includes two springs made to steady the outer tub during wash cycles. If your machine has been shaking or making more noise than usual, these springs could be the fix. They work together to keep the tub balanced, especially when loads are uneven. For best results, both springs should be replaced at the same time. Just remember to unplug your washer before starting the installation.

Restore stability to your top-load washer with this counterbalance spring kit, designed to absorb the motion of the wash tub during spin cycles. These springs help prevent excessive shaking, banging, or movement—especially when handling off-balance loads. Compatible with many Whirlpool, Kenmore, and Maytag models, the kit typically includes three springs, though your washer may only require one. If your machine is making loud noises or shifting during use, replacing the spring can help bring it back to smooth, steady operation. Always unplug the appliance before starting the repair.
