Frigidaire Washer Suspension Spring Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Frigidaire washer sounds like it's trying to escape during spin cycle, you're dealing with worn suspension springs. This hub covers the 134144700 suspension spring kit with insulators — the assembly that keeps your washer drum stable during high-speed spins. When these fail, you'll know it immediately.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your washer's model number plate — it's typically inside the door frame or behind the control panel on front-loaders. Match it against the compatible models listed below. This spring assembly fits most Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Kenmore front-load washers manufactured between 2005-2015. The kit includes the spring plus rubber insulators that prevent metal-on-metal contact.

About This Replacement Part

The 134144700 suspension spring system is what stops your washer from walking across the laundry room. Four of these springs connect the outer tub to the cabinet frame, absorbing vibration during the spin cycle. When they weaken or break, the most common symptom is violent shaking and movement — especially noticeable during high-speed spins with heavy loads. Some machines also develop drainage issues because the tub shifts out of alignment, preventing proper pump operation. Each spring handles roughly 25-40 pounds of tension, and they typically all wear at similar rates since they're under constant stress during every wash cycle.

Frigidaire Models Using This Suspension Spring

This spring assembly works across multiple Frigidaire washer series. Below are the most common compatible models:

• GLTF Series: GLTF1570FS0, GLTF1570FS1, GLTF1570FS2, GLTF1570FS3, GLTF1670AS0, GLTF2070DS0, GLTF1040AS0, GLTF1240AS0
• GLTR Series: GLTR1670AS0, GLTR1670FS0, GLTR1670FS1
• FTF Series: FTF530FS0, FTF530FS1

Replacement Numbers

This part replaces several older Frigidaire part numbers: AP3212517, 131663600, 134136300, and 131277700. If you're cross-referencing from an old repair receipt or service manual, any of these numbers confirm compatibility.

What You'll Need for Installation

Replacing suspension springs requires tilting or laying the washer on its side to access the bottom of the tub. You'll need a socket set, spring installation tool (or heavy-duty pliers), and a helper — these springs are under significant tension. Most DIYers budget 45-60 minutes for the job. Replace all four springs at once even if only one broke, since the others are likely close to failure.

Why This Part Fails

Suspension springs weaken from constant flexing under load. Overloading the washer accelerates wear, as does washing heavy items like comforters and rugs regularly. The rubber insulators dry out and crack over time, allowing the metal spring to contact the frame directly — that's when you hear metal clanging during spins. Once one spring breaks, the remaining three handle uneven loads, causing the washer to shake violently enough to damage other components.
