Washer banging on spin? Worn tub springs explained

Front loaders hang the tub on springs at the top and steady it with shock absorbers below. The springs carry the tub's weight and pull it back to centre as the drum spins. A stretched or snapped spring lets the tub sag and swing, so the drum knocks against the cabinet, the machine walks across the floor, or the door sits out of line with the seal. A broken spring is often easy to spot once the top lid is off, with one end hanging loose or the hook bent open.

Changing a tub spring

Unplug the washer and remove the top lid. With the spring still under tension, lift the tub slightly by hand, or get a helper to, so you can unhook the old spring safely. Hook the new spring into the same holes, check both ends are fully seated and lower the tub. Look over the other springs while you're there, as they've carried the same load.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace all the springs?

Not always, but if one has stretched or broken, the others are the same age and have carried extra strain. Compare their lengths side by side and replace any that look longer or have opened hooks.
