XPARTCO 4970FR2084Z Washer Suspension Spring
The XPARTCO 4970FR2084Z is an aftermarket replacement suspension hinge spring for LG and Kenmore front-load washers. The suspension springs support and stabilize the outer tub during wash and spin cycles and help it stay steady through unbalanced loads. When a spring is broken, snapped, or stretched, the washer may make a loud noise during spin, vibrate heavily, or stop spinning.
This is a direct-fit aftermarket replacement for the original LG spring. A broken spring can let the drum drop and damage the shocks, dampers, and door seal, so inspect those parts while the washer is open.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 4970FR2084Z Suspension Spring fixes an LG or Kenmore front-load washer that is loud or shakes badly during spin, stops spinning, or has a drum that has dropped because a suspension spring is broken or stretched. Classic symptom: a loud banging or grinding noise on spin, as if something snapped inside the washer.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Loud drum noise during the spin cycle
- Excessive vibration or shaking on spin

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before beginning, and wear work gloves. Follow your model's service guide to reach the springs, which usually means removing the top and front panels. The drum is heavy, so have a second person lift it, or use a rope loop, while you hook the new spring, which customers say is the hardest step. Check the shocks, dampers, hoses, and door seal while you are in there, since a dropped drum can damage them. Reassemble, then run a spin cycle and check the washer is steady.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer is very loud on spin. Is this the part I need?
A broken or stretched suspension spring is a common cause of loud spin noise and heavy vibration, especially if it sounded like something snapped. Check the springs, shocks, and dampers for damage.
Should I replace all the springs?
Many customers replace the springs on both sides together, since an old spring may stretch or fail soon after. Check your parts diagram for how many your model uses.
Is this an easy repair?
Retailers rate it easy to moderate, with customers reporting from under 15 minutes to 2 hours. Hooking the new spring while holding up the drum is the hardest part, so a helper makes it easier.
Will this fit my washer?
It is listed for many LG and Kenmore front-load washers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
