8316845 Whirlpool Washing Machine Suspension Spring

Washing Machine Suspension Spring.

Whirlpool's range of products encompasses several brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Self-Leveling Leg Spring, a genuine OEM replacement part, is specifically designed for Whirlpool washers. Its main function is to stabilize the washing machine, ensuring it remains level on uneven floors. The spring adjusts by compressing or extending depending on the load inside the washer.

Common reasons for the spring's failure include wear after many cycles of use or damage caused by excessive weight.

Signs that the self-leveling leg spring may need replacement are:

- Noticeable rocking or wobbling of the washer during use
- Increased vibration affecting nearby appliances or structures
- Challenges in loading and unloading clothes due to the washer not being level
- Early deterioration of internal parts like bearings, due to consistent imbalance

This genuine Whirlpool OEM part is also suitable for use with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
