Spring Support WP22002297

This little part supports a spring on either side of the tub. The springs support tubs in washing machines. This part can become lost or actually be worn in two by the concentrated wear of the wire extension spring in the hanger. The spring support also allows fine tuning of the tub location by selecting the position of the spring. This allows alignment of the tub with the cabinet and door seals. I recommend an application of grease where the spring sits in this support to reduce wear. If the spring this hanger supports is also worn and requires, the spring has been discontinued and is generally not available. A good substitute for the spring is the spring for hobby horses. It is the same size and length and this hanger will support it and allow the washer to be easily repaired.
