Description

This spring seat cap secures and centers a coil spring within its pocket, providing a smooth bearing surface for consistent tension and quieter operation. Replacing a damaged cap helps restore proper movement and reduce unwanted noise.

• Retains and aligns the spring in its mounting point to prevent it from slipping out
• Provides a wear surface that helps reduce squeaks, rattles, and binding
• Helps maintain correct tension so linked components move and return smoothly
• Common signs of failure: cracked or missing cap, spring won't stay seated, loose/uneven movement, squeaking or clicking noises

What's included: 1 spring seat cap Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance; shut off water supply if applicable
• Control spring tension carefully and wear cut-resistant gloves/eye protection
• Note the cap's orientation; seat the spring fully in the cap and bracket before reassembly
• Inspect related spring and linkage; replace any worn parts for best results
