How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6010168 / WP63907 Washer Suspension Spring

Followed the parts pros videos. Very helpful. 

Replaced suspension spring. 

With ease. 

New springs 

I used the parts that I got from appliance parts pros. and it arrived super fast. Did I mention how fast I got the parts? 

With help of repair video i replaced pads and springs. Machine works fine now with out to much vibrating or banging noise 

Springs were broken and back bracket was bent I replaced the bracket and all four Springs including the vertical one. I removed the cabinet as shown in the video. Then with a pair of vise grips's removed the springs one by one and replace them. The bracket was rusted And bent i used a quarter inch socket with a quarter inch ratchet to remove the screw. Due to the rust i used penetrating oil the screw. 

I replaced the agitator dogs and 2 suspension springs. 

I watched some repair videos and replaced the motor coupling with parts from Appliance Parts Pro. The washer spun again, but after about 10 seconds it started to make a grinding noise, sort of a knock. I then used the new springs that I ordered, and the knocking had stopped. The rust on my old machine was rather frightening, but the repairs were easy enough for this 64-year-old lady to make. 

I watched videos on appliancePartsPro on how to fix the washing machine that had the same problem. As i watched several videos i realized that there was a couple more things wrong with it. My washing machine was not agitating "agitator dogs" gone. My lid switch was not making contact "lid switch broken". And realized my washing machine tub was lopsided " suspension springs and bracket "back side was gone. So i decided since we came this far why not replace all those things too. Timer, Agitator dogs, lid switch, suspension spring, bracket for the spring. And i saw a spanner wrench and had to have it "just in case." It was a great experince.
