Description

This brake spring restores the tensioning force needed for the appliance's brake mechanism so the drum/rotating assembly holds and releases correctly. Replaces a worn or broken brake spring to help restore normal stopping behavior. What it does:

• Provides tension for the brake assembly so the drum or shaft can stop and hold when power is removed
• Commonly replaced when brake action is weak, noisy, or the drum keeps turning after power-off
• Helps prevent uncontrolled rotation that can affect spin/stop cycles or safety
• Simple mechanical part — no electrical connections or calibration needed

What's included: Includes one brake spring. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect surrounding brake components and mounting points; replace any damaged hardware
• Use proper tools to remove and install the spring — springs are under tension and can snap back
