Product Description

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.

Took washer completely apart, have a little slower spin with loud metal sound during spin like something rubbing. Spin tube and bearings all good within tolerance, replaced clutch assembly, cleaned and greased spin tube. Cleaned inside of basket assembly where brake pads rub against and gentle lightly cleaned off brake pads with emery cloth. Non of these made a bit of difference. Appliance friend thought for sure would fix it but wow. Could tub bearings still be worn out even though everything was tight or are suspension springs causing this. Wow never run into one of these couldn't figure out!

Hello Alex, Thank you for your inquiry. Researching the model number that you have provided, it could be an issue with the direct drive motor coupling, the basket drive assembly, the gear case, the tub seal and bearing kit, and the suspension springs. Good luck with your repair.
