W11266650 Whirlpool Washing Machine Tub Suspension Spring

Washing Machine Tub Suspension Spring

Whirlpool manufactures products under various brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper. They also produce items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The Suspension Springs are original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts specifically for Whirlpool washing machines. This set includes two robust coil springs designed to reduce vibrations from unbalanced or off-center loads in the washer tub.

These springs help minimize shaking and noise by flexing under movement, thereby stabilizing the tub during agitation and spin cycles. They are essential for maintaining a quieter and smoother washing process.

Common issues with suspension springs can arise from cracks or fractures due to prolonged use, overloading, mineral buildup that limits flexibility, or rust developing over time.

Signs of faulty or broken suspension springs include:

- Excessive vibration and shaking, even with balanced loads
- Loud banging or thumping noises during cycles
- Hissing or squeaking sounds that get worse over time
- Gradual misalignment of the tub on its support rails

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