Description

Replacement spring for the washer's out-of-balance switch lever. It restores proper lever tension so the switch can correctly sense unbalanced loads and manage the spin cycle, helping reduce vibration, noise, and nuisance stops. What it does:

• Maintains the return tension on the out-of-balance switch lever so the switch actuates reliably during spin
• Allows the control to pause or redistribute when a load is unbalanced, minimizing vibration and banging
• A weak, stretched, or missing spring can cause no-spin, repeated pauses, or cycles that end early with out-of-balance warnings
• Helps ensure accurate imbalance detection for consistent spin performance

What's included:

• Includes 1 spring

Install notes:

• Unplug the washer before servicing
• Access the out-of-balance switch lever (location varies by model; often under the top or behind the front panel)
• Note the spring's routing and attachment points; install the new spring in the same orientation and avoid overstretching
• After reassembly, run a short spin test with a small load to confirm operation
