285901 Whirlpool Washer/Dryer Combo Counter Balance Spring Kit

Washer/Dryer Combo Counter Balance Spring Kit

This kit includes three counterbalance springs designed to stabilize your laundry appliance if it experiences excessive movement or shaking. The springs are compatible with several brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, Admiral, and also products made for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

These OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are essential for Whirlpool washing machines, providing support for the washer tub by balancing its weight. This helps ensure smooth operation during both wash and spin cycles, minimizing vibrations and reducing the strain on other machine components.

Common signs that you might need to replace the springs include:

- Noticeable shaking, vibrations, or noise during use
- Challenges with cycle progression
- Grinding or binding noises from the machine
- Visible wear or damage to the springs themselves

The kit contains three springs, but installation typically requires only one spring. The specific spring needed is determined by the color label on your motor.

This straightforward solution helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of your appliance.
