W11314394 - Whirlpool Washer Spring

This Whirlpool Washer Spring (W11314394) is a genuine part designed for washing machines. It is compatible with Maytag and Whirlpool brands, effectively supporting the outer tub and keeping the tub stable during unbalanced loads. Known also as a suspension spring, it plays a crucial role in providing flexible suspension, sealing force for door gaskets, electrical contacts, and component attachments in your appliance. Metal springs like this one facilitate isolated vibrations through suspension springs, maintain sealing pressure with door gaskets when closed, ensure reliable connectivity of electrical contacts during motion, and secure component attachments. Symptoms indicating the need for this spring's replacement include missing, broken, or fatigued springs that impair component function, leading to a loss in the necessary flexible forces essential for the appliance's operation. Before purchasing, confirm the compatibility with your device's model number.
