Washer banging during spin? Check the tub suspension springs

Front loaders hang the outer tub from springs at the top of the cabinet, with shock absorbers or dampers underneath controlling the movement. The springs carry the weight of the tub, drum and wet washing, and pull everything back to centre as the load shifts. A spring that has stretched, snapped or come off its hook lets the tub drop and swing, so the machine knocks against the cabinet, walks across the floor on spin or may show an unbalanced load error. The door can also stop lining up with the seal when the tub sags.

Fitting a new suspension spring

Unplug the machine and turn off the taps, then remove the top panel to see the springs. Check the spring hooks and the mounting points on the tub and cabinet for wear or cracks. Lift the tub slightly to take the load off while hooking the new spring in place, keeping your fingers clear. If one spring has stretched or snapped, look closely at the others, as replacing them together keeps the tub hanging level.

Questions about this part

How many springs does my washer use?

It varies between models, and many front loaders use two at the top of the tub. Count the springs once the top panel is off, and check every spring is the same length and in good condition before deciding how many to order.
