Whirlpool WPW10250667 Top Load Washer Balance Spring

The Top Load Washer Balance Spring keeps the weight of the wash tub balanced. If the end of the spring rusts and your tub sits off balance, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. To access this part, you'll first need to remove the control panel of the washer. Usually held in place by two screws, some washer models have trim covers that need to be removed before gaining access to the screws. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
