Whirlpool Corporation produces appliances under several distinguished brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also manufacture products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The suspension spring under discussion is an authentic Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component specifically designed for Whirlpool washing machines. Generally, washing machines use three suspension springs, and it might be necessary to replace all if they lose tension. This component plays a vital role in ensuring the washer's outer tub remains properly positioned by applying appropriate tension. If the spring's tension diminishes, replacement is required.
To install the spring, you will need specific tools, including a ¼ nut driver, a putty knife, a flat-blade screwdriver, and needle-nose pliers. Once the new spring is in place, your washing machine should function effectively again.
This genuine replacement part from Whirlpool is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
