• Helps maintain alignment and smooth movement of moving parts
• Can reduce rattling or squeaking caused by weak or missing spring tension
• Symptoms include components not returning to position or intermittent operation

What's included

• One distortion spring

Install notes

• Disconnect power; for gas dryers, also shut off the gas supply
• Allow internal components to cool before service
• Control the spring during removal/installation—springs are under tension and can snap back
• Note the original spring orientation and attachment points to ensure proper reassembly
