Erick for Model Number mav6451aww I removed front panel and found 1 centering spring had worn out and broke, down by the base of washer. The other 5 seem in good shape and I cannot see anything else that looks faulty or broken. Should I replace all 6 springs, and may as well replace belt since washer is about 5-6 years old. Anything else I should look at or look for? The spring just looks like it wore through until it snapped. Thank You
Answer Hello Erick, Since the springs WP21001598 have to apply equal pressure to hold the tub assembly centered, you will not be able to get a satisfactory result from replacing only one spring. The other thing to look for is the presence of any oil around the "dome" since this will cause erratic movements of the tub assembly during the high speed spin. The presence of oil is the indication of a bad lip seal 207843 in the transmission. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, June 17, 2014
