Easy repair/fix to level our washer
Our older washer was not level so I tried to fix it and nothing worked until I found out that replacing a very old spring would do the trick. I ordered the part (shipping was more than the part). Installed it, and it worked perfectly.

Great experience!
Fast shipping, the part was a perfect fit, great price (shipping cost was a bit outlandish, though) Will DEFINITELY shop here again, if the need arises! Thank you!

Perfect Replacement
Springs were an exact match. The video tutorial made this an easy project. Don't forget to order grease, you need to apply a dab to each end of the spring.

Worked just fine
Worked just fine on my 25 year old kenmore series 90. found it is better to replace by taking off the braces than trying to stretch the springs.

Part has not arrived.
When I track the package, it says delivery pending. It left Chicago, IL on July 13th. I can't really rate the part but I apparently have to in order for this message to get to you. I might give you 5 stars but I can't give Fed Ex one. Thanks.

Out of balance on spin cycle
9 of 11 people
found this instruction helpful.
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.

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

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-des
