Product Description

Tub Spring Specifications

This tub spring is also known as suspension spring, balance spring, or counterweight spring. It is sold individually. The function of the part is to counterbalance the weight of the motor on the front of the front-load washer so the washer tub sits straight and even during the spin cycle. You may need to replace the spring if tub is sitting tilted forward. A broken spring will result in the tub being off-balance during the spin cycle which can cause further damage to washer parts. It is recommended to check all suspension springs as they often wear at the same rate. Tools needed for repair are a Phillips screw driver, flat blade screw driver, and a pair of pliers.

Washer keeps turn , moving or walking around when spin out other then that works fine. When standing in front of washer as if you where loading or unloading it turns about 90 degrees to the left ever time have made sure its level it does this no matter the size of the load. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem? Have already checked all the springs. Thanks for the help
For model number Whirlpool Washing Machine Model WTW5540SQ0
Hi Josh, Thank you for your question. If your washer is shaking and moving, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the suspension springs, the tub spring, the tub wear pads, the leveling springs, the suspension pads, the agitator directional cogs, the levelling legs and the suspension spring retainers. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello, thank you for your quick response to my question. I have looked at the video and it seems straightforward. The machine in the video is a different model. Would I be right in assuming that the method is the same across all the models? Thanks.

The agitator and tub moves violently while washing machine is level what is wrong
For model number kenmore 110.21102012
Hello Sue, thank you for your question. We would recommend check ing the tub springs and suspension rods first. If any are broken, or detached we would recommend replacing them. If the suspension rods are fine and the springs intact and providing tension we would recommend inspecting the drive block PartSelect Number PS11741977 and tub bearing. You will have to remove the agitator to inspect these parts. I hope this helps!

Washer tub slammed into washer body during spin cycle
If you load a washing machine unevenly, it will spin out of balance. But our washer seemed to make noise during the spin cycle regardless of how the load was distributed. I suspected that the suspension or balancing springs were getting tired, and ordered a replacement set.

First I disconnected the washer from the water and power supply, then I laid it on its back.

The tub rested on the back of the washer, making two of the three suspension springs relax, and they were pretty easy to pull out with pliers. After the first two were out, I had to support the tub with a couple 2x4s to relax the third suspension spring.

Installation was the reverse of removal - install the lower suspension spring, remove the 2x4s, then install the two other suspension springs.

The tub balancing spring was easy to replace, and probably wasn't the cause of the problem.

With $25 in parts and about 15 minutes, my washer spins much more quietly.

Machine rocking about like crazy on spin
Took some online research to figure out how to get the cabinet off. Once inside I fitted the wear pads which were a breeze to remove using a knife blade to pry them up and removing them using the screwdriver. The springs were replaced one by one using strong fingers. The machine went through the spin cycle without any rocking or self-destruct noises.

Acting like it was unbalanced
I thought I would find broken springs but everything looked good. Comments and video very helpful.I figured springs must be stretched or worn out ,so for the money I figured worth a try. Insallation went well, washingmachine runs like a new machine. Much better than spending money on a new one. Thanks

Washing machine shook violently while on spin cycle
Disconnected the bracket screws that held the suspension springs in place - fed new springs into bracket and reattached. Local repairman told me that springs dont wear out, they break - wrong, they do lose their tension and thereby lose the ability to counterbalance the spinning load. Washing machine now spins like new - no wobble or shake.

sounded out of balance even after shifting clothes
The tub was out of alignment and water fell behind it and onto the floor. My brother-in-law suggested my problem could be the tub balancing spring and when I moved my washing machine, there it was on the ground.
The schematic does not show where it hooks up. So after I did what I thought looked right, the machine still did not work properly. Then I replaced the three suspension springs and that didn't solve the problem.
I found a whirlpool "do-it-yourself" repair book at the library and was prepared to tear into the machine. However, I did not have the tub balancing spring in the correct spot at one end. It hooks up from one of the outer bracket to the back of the housing unit along between the legs. There is a hole that had rusted through. I simply drilled a new hole nearby and low and behold it works!
Easy fix - the frustration was with the poor schematic.

Tub leaning on one side
Changing the springs was a ...snap. The more delicate task was to figure out how to get to them; for this model, the back panel comes off (after removing 3 screws, the drain hose and drain hose plastic coupler, removing the 2 screws holding the control panel, pivoting the control panel and finally removing two spring clips. Also, the plastic water diverter takes a little bit of patience to be unhooked from its slots in the back panel as it will not slide out with the back panel. With the back panel off, the entire "shell" can be removed, exposing the guts. I twisted the tub to release the tension in the suspension springs and replaced them, one by one. Finally, the counterweight spring. I also lubed the support pads to allow for a "friendlier" leveling. Re-assemble, replace the old and cracked water supply hoses, and time for a beer and my girlfriend's obligatory OOOOHs and AAAAHs... All in all (cleanup and test included..) about one hour.

amazing spring

Best spring I have ever ordered. I looked at it for days before putting it in the washing machine just because it was so beautiful and perfect. To think that this is sitting in my washing machine being abused really troubles me and I have difficulty sleeping at night. I might order another one for decoration. The picture of my wife and I on our wedding day can be put in storage as this thing needs to be front and center on our shelf.

Just what I needed

The part was a perfect fit for my repair to my KitchenAid washer ....saved me a service call ..or from purchasing a new machine. My spring had rusted through the frame and was no longer providing counter balance support for the tub and motor. I had to attach this spring to another hole in the frame but it seems to be doing the job well! Glad I found it! Thank you
