This spring is essential for maintaining the washer's balance, preventing excessive movement, and minimizing noise during operation.

Causes of a bad suspension spring can include wear and tear from regular use, overloading the washer, or damage from unbalanced loads. When the suspension spring fails, it can lead to increased vibrations, noise, and potential damage to other components of the washing machine.

Symptoms of a bad Suspension Spring include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
• Loud banging noises
• Washer moving or "walking" during operation
• Uneven or off-balance loads

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Specs: 10-16 x 1/2 inch.

The Sound Dampening Ring is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. Located within the clutch housing, it serves to minimize noise transmission from internal components.

Causes relate to years of absorbing internal impacts fatiguing the damping material. Buildup of grime and detergent residue in its ridges may diminish noise-isolating effectiveness over time.

Symptoms of failure include:

• Excessive humming or clanking sounds from the transmission area
• Increased cabinet vibrations felt externally during operation
• Improper sound insulation leads to a louder overall noise profile

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore models.

The Suspension Spring Retainer is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It secures the suspension springs, which are crucial for stabilizing the washing machine tub during the wash and spin cycles.

You should replace the suspension spring retainer if it becomes damaged or worn out. Causes of a bad suspension spring retainer include the natural wear and tear from constant movement and load-bearing, impact damage, or corrosion from prolonged exposure to moisture.

Symptoms of a bad suspension spring retainer include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during operation
• Loud banging noises during spin cycles
• The washing machine tub appearing off-balance
• Leaks from the tub due to instability

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This centerpost bearing supports the washer's spin basket on the stationary center post, providing a low-friction surface for smooth, quiet rotation. Replacing a worn bearing helps restore proper spin performance and reduce noise and vibration.

• Supports and centers the spin basket on the tub centerpost/drive shaft
• Provides a low-friction bearing surface to reduce wear and noise
• Helps maintain basket alignment and stability during spin
• When worn, may cause grinding or squealing in spin, excessive vibration or wobble, and poor/slow spin

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; use proper PPE
• Access typically requires removing the agitator, inner basket, and related drive components
• Clean mating surfaces; inspect the centerpost/spin tube and tub seal and replace any worn seals per service guidance
• Seat the bearing fully and verify smooth basket rotation before reassembly

The Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part provides a tight seal around the washer shaft, preventing water from leaking out of the tub during the wash cycle.

Causes of a bad shaft seal can include wear and tear over time, exposure to harsh detergents or cleaning agents, or damage from foreign objects that may have gotten into the washer. 

Symptoms of a bad shaft seal include:

• Water leaking from the bottom of the washing machine
• Excessive noise during operation
• Visible damage or wear on the seal
• Wet spots or puddles under the washer

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Suspension Spring is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a critical component that helps to support and stabilize the outer tub during the wash and spin cycles, absorbing vibrations and minimizing excessive movement.  

Symptoms of a bad suspension spring include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash or spin cycle
• Loud banging or rattling noises from the washer
• The washer moving or "walking" across the floor during operation
• Leaks or potential damage to other components due to increased stress and movement

Causes of suspension spring failure can range from general wear and tear over time and exposure to high-speed spinning, to physical damage from overloading or unbalanced loads.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Suspension Pad Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It is a kit that includes 3 suspension pads designed to provide stability and reduce vibration during the washer's operation. These pads are designed to absorb shocks and prevent excessive movement.

You should replace the suspension pad kit if the pads become worn out or damaged. Causes of bad suspension pads can include regular wear and tear, overloading the washer, or continuous exposure to high levels of vibration and movement.

Symptoms of bad suspension pads include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash or spin cycles
• Loud banging noises coming from the washer
• The washer moving or "walking" during operation
• Uneven or unbalanced loads despite proper loading

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Includes suspension pads.

The Tub Suspension Pads are an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. These pads are designed to provide cushioning and stability to the washer tub, reducing vibration and noise during the wash and spin cycles. This kit contains three pads, each 2 1/4 inches long

Symptoms of bad tub suspension pads include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during operation
• Loud banging or thumping noises during the spin cycle
• The washer moving or "walking" across the floor
• Uneven or poorly balanced loads leading to inefficient washing

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Shaft Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This seal is designed to fit around the shaft that connects the tub to the transmission or motor, preventing water from leaking out of the tub and into the machine's internal components.

Causes of damage to the Shaft Seal often involve normal wear and tear from regular use, as the constant motion of the shaft can gradually degrade the seal.

Symptoms of a bad Shaft Seal include:

• Water leaking from the underside of the washing machine, particularly during or after a wash cycle
• A noisy operation, especially during the spin cycle, can sometimes result from water leaking into the bearings and causing them to fail
• The presence of rust or corrosion around the area where the shaft enters the tub

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Bearing and Seal Kit is an OEM component for Whirlpool and KitchenAid front-load washing machines. The kit includes 2 center post bearings, 3 agitator shaft seals, and 1 center post seal.

Symptoms of worn motor seals or bearings include:

• Abnormal vibrations during the wash or spin cycles
• Noisy operation and grinding sounds from the motor
• Difficulty starting or stopping the cycle

This OEM kit is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore models.
