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.
