Whirlpool 12002773 Spring Kit (6 Springs) OEM Part

Replaced Snubber Ring installed spring kit. Watched installation video, found it very helpful to plan repair. The washer runs like new now.

Posed question to problem,got answer , ordered parts ,short wait for( 3 or4 days) watcher repair video , replaced snubber ring and new spring kit, machine down about a week, not to difficult even at 72

Replaced the springs for new and fixed the problem.

Replaced snubber, one foot and springs. I bought a package of 1 inch #10 by 24 thread screws but 3/4 inch would probably have worked for temporarily holding the spring around the snubber under the tub pulley. The snubber was not worn through, but there was a lot of plastic dust around the pulley. I think the main problem was weak springs. Taking them off was a lot easier than putting the new ones on, especially the two on the back of the washer due to working at arms length. Vise grip pliers is a must have for that reason. So far all is well and the washer works great.

I replaced the thrust bearing and pulley. While we were working on the washer we went ahead be replaced the belt and the tub springs. It wasn't difficult to do and our washer works like new!!
