WP21001598 Whirlpool Washing Machine Suspension Spring

Washing Machine Suspension Spring

This OEM Suspension Spring is designed for use in various Whirlpool washing machines, including brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Roper. It is also compatible with appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea names. The primary function of the suspension spring is to secure the washing machine's tub, preventing it from moving excessively during operation.

The spring helps to absorb and minimize vibrations and movements of the tub throughout the washing cycle. This stabilization is crucial as it helps maintain the balance of the machine, reducing noise and preventing potential damage.

Specifications include an overall length of 7 inches. For those needing multiple replacements, a Spring Kit containing six springs is available under part number 12002773.

Issues that this spring can rectify include:
- Unbalanced washing machine
- Excessive noise or movement during operation
- Washing machine failing to start

This part is essential for maintaining the efficient operation of your appliance across multiple Whirlpool-related brands.
