Genuine OEM Washer Suspension Component | Ships Canada-Wide

The WP8533540 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Spring Retainer is an original manufacturer part designed specifically for Whirlpool-brand washing machines. This washer suspension component plays a critical role in maintaining proper tub stability during wash and spin cycles.

Supplied by Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canadian appliance parts retailer based in Edmonton, Alberta, this genuine OEM part is stocked in Canada and ships quickly nationwide. Replacing a worn or damaged spring retainer is a common and effective solution for washer vibration, imbalance, and excessive movement issues.

What This Washer Spring Retainer Does

In a washing machine, the spring retainer secures the suspension spring that supports and stabilizes the washer tub. During operation—especially high-speed spin cycles—the suspension system absorbs movement and keeps the tub properly aligned inside the cabinet.

A correctly functioning spring retainer ensures:

• Stable tub positioning

• Controlled vibration during spin cycles

• Reduced stress on the washer frame and suspension springs

Using a genuine OEM spring retainer is essential, as incorrect dimensions or inferior materials can lead to recurring imbalance issues, premature wear, or damage to surrounding suspension components.

Signs You May Need to Replace the Washer Spring Retainer

A failed or damaged washer spring retainer can cause noticeable performance problems. Common symptoms include:

• Excessive shaking or vibration during spin cycles

• Washer tub sitting unevenly or shifting inside the cabinet

• Loud banging or thumping noises

• Washer “walking” or moving across the floor

• Repeated out-of-balance cycle interruptions

If your washer suspension spring is intact but no longer held securely, replacing the spring retainer often restores proper stability and normal operation.
