• Restores proper airflow pathways around the evaporator to help the system cycle normally.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Access may require removal of interior panels or the evaporator cover; follow OEM service instructions.
• Handle the insulation gently to avoid tearing or compressing it; use only manufacturer-recommended adhesives or fasteners if needed.

This is a suspension spring for select washers. It supports and stabilizes the wash tub during spin and agitation to reduce vibration and noise, helping the machine run smoothly.

• Supports the tub within the cabinet to control movement
• Helps reduce excessive vibration, banging, or walking during spin
• Addresses symptoms like out-of-balance loads, noise, or shaking
• Loss of tension, stretching, or breakage can require replacement

• Unplug the washer and shut off water supply before repair
• Access typically requires removing the top or front panel; support the tub to relieve spring tension
