Balance Ring - Top of Inner Tub - White WP3956205

Hello Bonnie, Thank you for your inquiry. The balance ring is supposed to have liquid in it for balancing purposes. Hope this helps!

Hi Donald, Thank you for your question. Balance rings are 1/2 to 3/4 full of liquid. If the balance ring is leaking or has lost all of its liquid, then it will need to be replaced. We hope this helps! Good luck with the repair!

Hi Donald, Thank you for your question. The clips are included with the balance ring. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.

Hi CW, Thank you for contacting us back. Here is some installation information that a customer has posted on our website that you may reference on how to remove/install the balance ring, "First I removed the screws on top and at the bottom that holds the controls in place to the washer itself. I then removed the control panel and disconnected it off of the washer. I then released the two metal holders that keep the back of the washer in place with the front frame of the washer. I slid the metal exterior forward and away from the rest of the washer exposing the basket. I removed the top layer that holds the ring balancer in place and then was able to reach the ring balancer itself. I removed the old one and discarded it replacing it with the new ring balancer. I pressed it down onto the top of the basket as if you were putting a top back on to a tuppaware dish. I then put the top layer back on and then proceeded to put the exterior of the washer sliding it back in to place. The whole process took maybe about 45-55 minutes and it went relatively smooth especially after knowing how to remove each piece from observing a maintenance job one day." I hope this helps. Good luck with the repair.

Hi CW, Thank you for getting back to us. To release the clips, you can try and use a rubber mallet and lightly tap on the clips to release them. When installing the balance ring, you will need to push down hard so the clips can engage the tub. I hope this helps with the repair. Have a great day!

Hello Calvin, Thank you for your question. Yes, if the balance ring is split it could cause the washer to shake. Hope this helps!

Hi CW, Thank you for your question. If the tub is shaking during the spin cycle and you have already checked the main 3 parts that would cause this issue, there are some other parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the suspension pads, the agitator directional cogs, the leveling legs, the suspension spring retainer and the direct drive motor coupling. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Al, Thank you for the question. We suggest checking for wear on the Pulley for wear or damage and replacing the Belt. We hope this helps!
