This kit replaces OEM part number 280159. It also cross-references with 1175779, 8540102, W10010360, AP3904440, PS993023, EAP993023, AH993023, and EA993023.
The most common symptom is excessive shaking, vibrating, or 'walking' during the spin cycle. If your washer drum appears to be sagging, hits the cabinet during operation, or makes loud banging noises, the suspension springs have likely lost their tension and require replacement.
Replacing the suspension springs is a moderate repair that typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. You will generally need basic hand tools, such as a screwdriver and a pair of pliers or a spring puller tool. Because you will be accessing the internal suspension system, ensure the washer is unplugged and the water supply is turned off before beginning.
Yes, it is highly recommended to replace all suspension springs simultaneously, even if only one appears damaged. Replacing them as a complete set ensures that the washer drum remains balanced and prevents uneven tension, which can lead to further mechanical issues or premature failure of the new parts.
