W11314394 Whirlpool Washing Machine Suspension Springs

Washing Machine Suspension Springs

Whirlpool's product range includes brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The suspension spring, designed for Whirlpool front-loading washing machines, is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part. It is situated behind the washing machine tub as part of the suspension assembly, playing a crucial role in supporting the tub and absorbing impacts.

The primary reason for spring failure is often the continuous overloading of the machine, which after numerous cycles leads to metal fatigue and the weakening of the suspension parts.

Signs of a failing spring include:

- Noticeable noise or rattling from the washer tub area
- Imbalance or excessive shaking during spin cycles
- Challenges in leveling or securing the tub properly

This replacement spring from Whirlpool is suitable for certain models of KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore front-load washers.
