Know before you buy
You should verify your washing machine's model number against the manufacturer's compatibility list. Checking your owner's manual or the model tag on the machine itself is the most reliable way to ensure this part fits your specific unit.
If your washer is shaking excessively, vibrating loudly during the spin cycle, or appears off-balance, the suspension springs may be worn or stretched. Replacing them can help restore stability and reduce noise during operation.
This part is designed for straightforward installation, but it does require accessing the internal components of your washer. If you are comfortable with basic appliance repair and have the necessary tools, it is a manageable DIY project.
This listing is for a single suspension spring. Depending on your specific model, you may need to replace multiple springs at once to ensure the drum remains balanced, so check your machine's requirements before ordering.
The rubber construction provides the necessary flexibility and tension to absorb the shock of a heavy, spinning load. This material helps dampen vibrations effectively, preventing excess wear and tear on your machine's internal components.
