Washer Spring Parts

The tall tub leg spring is a small tension spring that connects to the adjustable leveling leg at the base of a dishwasher with a tall tub design, helping to keep the leg firmly in position. It ensures the appliance sits level and stable on the floor during operation. Replace this spring if your dishwasher rocks or vibrates excessively, or if the leveling leg no longer holds its position.

This is a short coil spring that connects the outer wash tub to the washer cabinet, helping absorb vibration and support the tub during spin cycles. It works alongside other suspension springs to keep the tub balanced and reduce excessive movement. Replace this spring if the washer shakes or bangs excessively during spin, the tub hangs unevenly, or you notice a broken or stretched spring during inspection.

This is a small spring that attaches to the lid of a laundry center washer, providing tension to hold the lid in position. It helps the lid stay open during loading and close securely during operation. Replace this spring if your washer lid won't stay open, slams shut on its own, or the original spring is broken or stretched out.

Idler lever spring (with silencer) restores proper tension to the dryer idler assembly so the drive belt tracks and runs smoothly. Replacing a worn or broken spring can reduce noise and help prevent belt slippage. What it does:

• Provides tension to the idler lever so the drive belt maintains correct tracking.
• Helps prevent belt slipping that can cause uneven drum rotation or failure to tumble.
• Can reduce squealing, thumping, or rattling coming from the idler/drive area.
• Works as the replacement tension spring for the idler lever assembly when the original is damaged or lost.

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before starting any repair.
• Access typically requires removing dryer panels and/or the drum; follow the model-specific service manual or OEM instructions.
• Inspect the idler pulley and drive belt while replacing the spring; replace any worn components.
