This Part Fixes These Problems

Excessive Vibration & Shaking

Washer shakes violently or walks across the floor during the spin cycle due to the tub losing its centered position on the suspension rods.

Tub Banging Against Cabinet

The inner wash tub strikes the outer cabinet walls during agitation or spin when worn centering springs no longer hold it in proper alignment.

Loud Clunking or Thumping Noises

Metallic banging or thumping sounds during operation caused by the unrestrained tub contacting surrounding components.

Tub Not Sitting Centered

The wash tub sits visibly off-center or does not return to the center position after the spin cycle completes, indicating broken or missing centering springs.

Product Description

Why Choose Our W10400895 Tub Centering Spring Kit?

🔧
Built to OEM Specifications Engineered to match the original W10400895 spring dimensions — hooks from the top of the wash tub to the suspension rods to maintain proper tub alignment throughout every cycle.
🏗️
High-Strength Stainless Steel Construction Crafted from durable stainless steel spring wire — highly resistant to moisture-induced rust, less likely to harden or become brittle, and maintains consistent elasticity through thousands of wash cycles.
📦
2-Pack — Complete the Job Right Includes 2 tub centering springs per package, matching the OEM kit quantity. Industry best-practice recommends replacing both springs simultaneously so tub tension stays even on all sides.
🔄
Wide Cross-Reference Coverage Directly replaces AP5263280, PS3497596, W10348658, W10400895VP, 1938554, AH3497596, EA3497596, and LP22618. One part number covers dozens of compatible Whirlpool-platform models.
🏠
Broad Brand Compatibility Fits top-load washers across Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Roper, Admiral, Magic Chef, Norge, Crosley, and Inglis — all built on the same Whirlpool vertical modular washer (VMW) platform.
⚡
Easy DIY Installation No special tools required beyond a screwdriver and pliers. Each spring hooks onto the tub ring and loops over the suspension rod — most repairs are completed in 15–30 minutes without professional help.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Tub Centering Springs Need Replacing

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Washer tub bangs against the outer cabinet during the spin cycle

⚠️ Excessive vibration or shaking — especially with unbalanced loads

⚠️ Tub does not sit evenly or return to center position after spinning

⚠️ Loud clunking or thumping noises during agitation or spin

🔍 Diagnostic Tip: Open the washer lid and manually push the inner tub off-center. It should spring back firmly to center. If it stays off-center, flops loosely, or you hear a metallic rattle — the centering springs are worn or broken. Always inspect and replace in pairs to maintain balanced tub tension. If banging continues after spring replacement, also check the suspension rod kit (W10780048) for wear.

Questions & Answers

How many tub centering springs does my Whirlpool top-load washer need?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Most Whirlpool VMW (vertical modular washer) top-loaders use 2 centering springs — one at the right front corner and one at the left rear corner of the tub. Some models have 4 mounting points but only 2 springs from the factory. You can install 2 or 4 springs; installing all 4 typically provides improved stability and is acceptable. This W10400895 2-pack covers a standard repair. Purchase two packs if you wish to fill all four positions.
Will replacing the centering springs fix my washer banging during spin?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Worn or broken centering springs are a common cause of tub-banging, but not the only one. If replacing the W10400895 springs does not fully resolve the issue, also inspect the suspension rod kit (W10780048) — the 4 suspension rods with ball cups and bushings are the primary tub support and are often worn simultaneously. Replacing both the springs and the rod kit together is the most thorough repair.
Is this spring compatible with my Kenmore top-load washer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Yes. Many Kenmore top-load washers are manufactured by Whirlpool and share the same VMW platform components. Part number W10400895 is compatible with a wide range of Kenmore models. To confirm fit, locate your full model number (found on the lid frame sticker) and check our compatibility list. Kenmore models starting with 110.2xxxx are commonly compatible.
What tools do I need to replace the W10400895 tub centering spring?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
The repair requires minimal tools: a flathead screwdriver (to unsnap the tub ring), needle-nose pliers (to hook and unhook the springs), and work gloves for hand protection. No power tools are needed. Most DIYers complete this repair in 15–30 minutes. We also recommend having white lithium grease on hand to lubricate the suspension rod bushings during reinstallation.
Does this aftermarket spring match OEM specifications?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes. Our W10400895 replacement spring is manufactured to match OEM hook dimensions, wire gauge, and spring tension specifications. The springs are made from stainless steel for corrosion resistance — important given the humid environment inside a washer cabinet. They meet OEM fitment standards and are sold as a direct drop-in replacement for the original Whirlpool part.
