The suspension spring supports the outer tub and keeps the tub steady during loads that could cause an unbalance. If this part breaks, is worn down or has stretched out and lost its spring, it could cause the load to be off-balance which can lead to excessive shaking, moving, noise, and leaks. For this repair, you will need a 1/4 nut driver, a putty knife, a flat blade screwdriver, and a pair of needle-nose pliers. Disconnect the power supply, fill hoses, and drain hose to give you safe and easy access (have a container nearby for water left in drain hose). This item is sold individually, which is important as you may need to repair multiple springs in your appliance, which carries three suspension springs. As an inexpensive part, we recommend purchasing several at a time, as they can be very useful to have on-hand.

Part Fine But did not need replacement.
The parts were great and I installed them but these particular springs were not my problem. The single longer thinner spring in the back was my issue that was making my tub go out of balance. (Probably the true weak link in the system.) The end had rusted off. I changed these springs anyways because they may have weakened over time.

Simple saved a lot
Was delivered before expected. The online instructions were perfect. The repair worked great and I didn't have to buy a new machine. This isn't the first repair I have done on this machine. I am now inspired to see how long I can keep it working. Have replaced parts on my refrigerator and range. I have been veryplease with all my purchases.

These replacement springs corrected the problem and the video on how to take the outer cover off was a big help.

Excessive tub wobble, tubs leaning forward of normal
Washer is 29 years old. Found that tub spring hooks into a simple (non-reinforced) hole in the base frame, and it had worn the hole through through the edge of the frame (key hole style). Due to age and low cost of parts, ordered all suspension springs, brackets, & pads. Once they arrived, took the tubs out (first time for that), found
... Read more that the suspension pads looked fine, but the wear pads showed a lot of wear and the front one was snapped in the middle, perhaps an after effect of the spring failure. From my lack of attention, initially tried to get front pad into the wrong set of holes, a bad fit; corrected. Simply drilled a near-by hole in the base frame for the tub spring.
While the tubs were out, took them outside and scrubbed them clean. Also cleaned agitator parts using bottle brushes. Followed the PartSelect videos and owner comments for procedures, methods. Found that some miss some important info, but if you watch others you can combine the info to find what you need re disassembly/assembly.
At one point while attempting to remove the outer tub, did not realize that the screw that holds the rear spring bracket to the tub also holds the tub to the suspension plate.
Took me most of a day for the whole process, and I ended up with pulled/spasmic muscles from all the bending over, mostly from cleaning parts I think. Very helpful to have the parts breakout drawings, videos, others' experience.
tub tilted forward. Some fill water would miss the tub
Removed cabinet found tub spring had worn thru rear frame, spring was also almost worn thru. Checked suspension springs very very worn at mounting points. Ordered needed parts. All in Stock. First bracket came the next day took 5 days to get the rest 1 part at a time. Forgot to order suspension spring clips, order them next da
... Read morey shipping came the next day . Just because parts are in stock doesn't mean you will receive in a timely fashion if you need parts better order next day freight. Videos, parts diagrams and instruction are great, regular freight is not good
I followed the online instructions to remove the shell and attempted to remove the drum, but not having the special wrench to remove the special nut, tried using a screwdriver and hammer, which failed to loosen the nut. I then started examining the the undercarriage and saw that I could replace the springs without removing the tub and di
... Read mored that. In the course of replacing the springs I discovered I could also access the wear pads by lifting the drum off of the undercarriage and placing a block to hold it above the pads. I was able to pop the old pads out by tapping underneath them with a hammer. The new pads were then installed and the weight of the drum popped them in. It was necessary to lift the drum assembly three times for each of the three pads.
Following the video that was supplied with my order was super helpful. Watching it though made the job seem very easy of which it really wasn't. My washer is about 6 years old so it had a LOT of build up on EVERYTHING making the disassembly harder than you may think. Once apart I needed to really scrub everything clean before reassembly a
... Read mores well. Getting the tub off without cracking it was a challenge for sure. Eventually rocking it and adding a bit of WD-40 to the shaft if eventually came off. Once it was off I was able to replace the Tub Wear Pads quite easily. Getting to it was the challenge. Installing new wear pads and new suspension springs fixed the problem. Once I had the casing back together I replaced the agitator cam set as well. I figured as long as I already had it apart why not be proactive and fix the next to fail and boy am I glad I did. Once I had it out it just fell apart in my hands with the cams showing almost no ribs at all left to latch onto.
loud noise during spin cycle, then not spinning at all
Watching videos identified what parts to purchase. Once identified - WATCH EACH PARTS VIDEO (again). Lessons learned: 1) better to NOT tilt the washer 2) watch (more than once) and learn from the videos 3) must difficult step was loosening the tub retaining nut without having a spanner wrench (used a hammer and a
... Read moreshort / wide blade screwdriver) 4) ended up being the tub support was not sitting properly in the suspension plate 5) cleaned and changed parts while apart 6) running as good as new
Followed the videos on the website. But had to order parts twice because it wasn't the springs it was the plastic bushings the tub sits on that caused the wobble. No big deal though. All told it was still far less expansive than a new machine.

Are there 2 tub springs? Are there three suspension springs? On the back i cannot see where it should go. The pictures and videos don't show it. I'm pretty sure there should be a back on, as i found the spring on the floor. But i do not know where to connect it .... there is no little thingy to put in the rectangular hole that the other ones have so i don't know where it goes or what the thingy is called to purchase one... i've bought 3 of the springs from you.. really need to fix it right away,,, i have it all apart. could send a picture if that would help. anxious to hear from you. thanks.

The springs in our washer have gone out twice now in the last 6 months??? what would cause this?
For model number MAV7600AWW
Hi Tim,
Thank you for your question. There could be a number of causes unfortunately. Most of the time it might be because of excessively heavy loads or unbalanced loads. Other times it could just be because of a fault springs. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

We moved our washer to a drawer stand under it. It started being very off balance in spin cycle. We leveled it all before using. Now the door won't lock to start machine. Also it didn't finish washing stopped after the 1st spin cycle so i shut it off.
For model number NFW7200TW
Hello Crystal, thank you for your question. If the unit is leveled properly, and the door is not locking it sounds like the lock mechanism may need to be replaced. The part number is PartSelect Number PS11745016. You can also test the part before replacing. You will want to test the Door lock solenoid from pins 2 to 3 and 3 to 1 and should read 60 ohms on either of them. Then you will want to test the switches. From pin 5 to 4 with the door locked should read 0 ohms as well as pins 2 to 1. I hope this helps!

This washer is very noisy during the spin cycle. What could cause this? Thanks!
For model number LSR8133HQ0
Hello Alynda, thank you for inquiring! Most often when the washer is noisy, it is most likely the result of a part between the tub and the motor being worn or faulty. We would recommend checking the following parts: the motor (Part Number: PS11743427), the motor coupling (Part Number: PS1485646), the gear case (Part Number: PS341974), the clutch assembly (Part Number: PS334641), and the basket direct drive kit (Part Number: PS11723156). We hope this helps!
