Common Causes
- Strap stretched or broken due to age, heavy loads or repeated high-spin cycles.
- Tub vibration or imbalance transmitting excessive stress to strap and suspension.
- Use of oversized loads or frequent overloads causing extreme tub motion and strap failure.
- Wearing of the strap mounting ends or clips loosening, leading to ineffective dampening.
Symptoms & Installation Guide
Signs & Symptoms
- Washer tub moves excessively or wobbles during spin — unusually loud or rough operation.
- Washer leans, shifts position, or “walks” during operation.
- Tub suspension feels loose, or you can see visible sag or drop of the tub.
- Exceptionally strong vibration or noise during the spin cycle that was not present before.
Installation Guide
- Disconnect power to the washer and ensure it is safe to service.
- Tilt or elevate the washer (if required) to access the underside of the tub and locate the existing strap mount.
- Remove any needed panels to access the strap ends and mounting clips or bolts.
- Detach the old strap by removing mounting clips or disconnecting bolts at both ends of the strap.
- Install the new W11403873 strap by aligning the mounting holes and securing with the original hardware or clips.
- Re-secure all panels and ensure no wiring or hoses are obstructing the new strap.
- Restore power, run a test spin with a small load, and observe tub movement — vibration should be significantly reduced.
