The Suspension Spring is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part helps balance the tub during the spin cycle, ensuring smooth operation and reducing vibrations. By supporting the tub, the suspension springs absorb and dampen the motion as the washer agitates and spins clothes dry.
Causes of a bad Suspension Spring can include stretching or weakening over time, rust or corrosion, or breakage due to heavy loads or excessive vibration.
Symptoms of a bad Suspension Spring include:
- The washing machine vibrating more than usual
- Unusual noises during the spin cycle
- The tub sagging or tilting
- The washer "walking" or moving during operation
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
