3794004006 Genuine Tub Suspension Spring Red for Electrolux Group Washing Machines, Electrolux 8583794004009

3794004006 is a genuine Electrolux tub suspension spring for Electrolux group washing machines. It's listed as the red, or rossa, version, and the long form of the number is 8583794004009. Washers use springs of different strengths, often colour coded, so the red marking helps you match the right one. Before ordering, check the colour and number on your old spring, as a spring that's too soft or too stiff upsets the balance of the tub.

Washing machine banging on spin? Check the springs

Suspension springs carry the weight of the tub and drum and let them move as the load spins. Working with the dampers, they stop that movement reaching the cabinet. When a spring stretches, breaks or comes off its hook, the tub sits lower or off level. Common signs are loud banging or thumping during spin, the drum hitting the cabinet, the machine walking across the floor, and frequent out of balance stops. Look inside the cabinet for a spring that hangs loose or sits lower than the others.

Replacing a suspension spring

Unplug the washer and turn off both taps. Remove the top or rear panel to reach the springs. Support the tub so it can't drop while you unhook the old spring, and note which hole each end uses. Hook the new spring into the same places. Many technicians replace springs in pairs or full sets so the tub hangs evenly, so check the others while you're in there.

Questions about this part

Should I replace all the springs together?

If one spring has stretched, the others have done the same work for the same time. Replacing them as a set keeps the tub level. Check how many your machine uses and whether they're all the same colour, as some models mix spring types.
