A145754 Genuine Tub Suspension Spring for Ariston Washing Machines, Ariston Washer Tank Spring for Banging or Shaking on Spin

A145754 is a genuine Ariston suspension spring for the tank, which is the outer tub that holds the drum in an Ariston washing machine. In most front loaders, the tub hangs from springs at the top and is steadied by shock absorbers underneath. When a spring stretches or snaps, the tub sits out of position and the machine bangs on spin. No models are on file for A145754, so compare it with your old spring before ordering.

Ariston washer banging on spin? Check the tub springs

The suspension springs carry the weight of the tub, the drum, the water and the wet washing, and they keep the drum centred while it spins. A worn, stretched or broken spring lets the tub drop, tilt or swing too far. Common signs are loud banging during spin, the drum sitting lower on one side, the door seal rubbing, the machine walking across the floor, or a spin that keeps stopping because the load seems out of balance. Look inside the top of the cabinet to spot a broken spring.

Changing a suspension spring

Unplug the washer, turn off the taps and take the top panel off to reach the springs. The tub is heavy, so lift it slightly to take the load off the spring before unhooking it. Hook the new spring into the same holes, the same way up. If the springs are the same age, replace them together so the tub hangs level, and check the shock absorbers while you're there.

Questions about this part

Should I replace both springs at once?

If they're the same age it's a good idea. A new spring alongside a stretched one can leave the tub hanging unevenly. Check both springs carry the same number before ordering a pair, as some machines use different springs on each side.
