Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This counterbalance spring kit is a genuine replacement part designed to stabilize the wash tub in top-load washing machines during operation. Compatible with select models from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and other affiliated brands, the springs work to counteract the weight and movement of the tub, especially during high-speed spin cycles. A failing spring can result in excessive vibration, loud banging noises, or the washer shifting position. The kit typically includes three springs, though only one may be required depending on your model. Installation should be performed with the appliance unplugged and may require basic tools. Replacing worn springs helps restore balance and reduce wear on other components.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money

Quietly Spinning Again
This was the part we needed to repair our noisy washing machine. This spring offsets the weight of the motor allowing the tub to be level and spin quietly. We are back to having to listen carefully to see if the washer is done. I had purchased and replaced some other parts as well. I was delighted to find out that the parts I didn’t need were returnable. I will look to Parts Select again in purchasing parts for repairs in our home!

counter balance spring
first remove your washer cabinet from unit. Next on your back left bottom is where your new spring goes. In my case my spring was broke making the washer spin out of balance. Repair with your new spring, and install cabinet back place plug it in and wash a load of cloths. Wow what a difference!!!! job took about 20 minutes. Very Happy

The support sprint had broke which left the basin unleveled so water would leak behind the basin and onto the floor
I replaced the broken support spring and the problem was fixed

Hello, This site was very helpful! My question is why is there 3 counter balance springs in the kit for 29.97 when my machine only has one in the back? I would rather buy only the one I need for a lower price, thanks mike
For model number MVWC300VW1
Hello Michael, Thank you for the question. Your application will require only one spring depending on the color of the label on your motor. The kit includes the 3 color option. Maytag only sells the kit of the 3 springs to ensure you receive the correct color coded spring needed for you appliance. Hope this helps!
