Suspension Spring
★★★★★
★★★★★
(4)
Part #WP63907
The suspension spring supports the outer tub and keeps the tub steady during loads that could cause an unbalance. If this part breaks, is worn down or has stretched out and lost its spring, it could cause the load to be off-balance which can lead to excessive shaking, moving, noise, and leaks. For this repair, you will need a 1/4 nut driver, a putty knife, a flat blade screwdriver, and a pair of needle-nose pliers. Disconnect the power supply, fill hoses, and drain hose to give you safe and easy access (have a container nearby for water left in drain hose). This item is sold individually, which is important as you may need to repair multiple springs in your appliance, which carries three suspension springs. As an inexpensive part, we recommend purchasing several at a time, as they can be very useful to have on-hand.

will not stop spinning
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Wayne, thank you for contacting us. Please ensure that the drainage system is sound and drain hoses and the drain pump are not blocked. Given that the washer is draining properly, the issue is probably because of a faulty timer control motor, part number PS11746373, the clutch assembly, part number PS334641, or a defective drive assembly, part number PS11723156. Customer service is always available to help you place an order if you are having trouble doing so. Good luck with your repair.

first problem I had with washer .all cycles their was loud grinning noise.i replaced transmission and direct drive kit with clutch.now after spin cycles drum will not stop spining makes loud /banging noise sounds like hitting somethi
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Wayne, thank you for your inquiry. The banging noise comes when the load is not distributed evenly or the washer is unbalanced on the floor. The drum does not stop spinning if the clutch brake or whole clutch is damaged/faulty. We would recommend you replace the Basket Drive Assembly with a Clutch, part number PS11723156. Please reach out to customer service if you need help placing an order. Glad to be of help!

washer wouldn't agitate
956 of 1058 people found this instruction helpful.
  • mike from Kent, WA
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
First pry off the cap of the agitator. Then using a socket remove the bolt that holds the plastic cup in place. Remove this cup by prying it loose from the two tabs that hold it in place. Once this cup is removed you can get to the broken cogs.
Slip the new cogs into the underside of the cup, and slide the cup back down in the a gitator housing using the slots on the side for a guide. (You may want to remove the entire agitator and assemble everything upside down, then flip it all back over to mount, so the cogs don't fall out).
Tighten the bolt, snap the cap back in place on top of the agitator and your'e done. Easy repair.

Upper portion of agitator, no longer pushing clothing down.
802 of 842 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Matt from Pawtucket, RI
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Pliers, Socket set
The instructions came with the repair kit, it was fairly simple and straight foward.

One bolt held the entire agitator unit in the washer, as well as held the upper and lower halves together. Once that nut was removed the two halves seperated and the plastic clutch pieces could easily be replaced wtih the new onces in the repai r kit.

Very easy do-it-yourself repair! Took about 20 minutes because I was being cautious. Next time I could do it in 5 minutes.
