MHY62964802 LG Washer Suspension Hinge Spring – Fix Your Washer That Vibrates Excessively, Shakes Violently, Makes Banging Noises, or Walks Across the Floor During Spin Cycle
MHY62964802 Washer Suspension Hinge Spring – The essential fix for an LG front-load washer that vibrates excessively during spin, shakes violently, makes loud banging or thumping noises, rocks back and forth, or walks across the laundry room floor. The suspension springs are part of the critical system that holds the heavy wash drum inside the cabinet and absorbs the powerful forces generated during high-speed spin cycles. When a suspension spring stretches out, weakens from metal fatigue, corrodes, or snaps, the drum loses its balanced support and begins moving beyond its normal range — slamming into the cabinet walls (banging), causing the entire washer to shake violently (vibration), and potentially moving the machine across the floor (walking). You may also notice the washer pausing or stopping mid-spin with an unbalanced load error code (UE or uE) more frequently than normal, because the weakened suspension can no longer compensate for normal load imbalances. Other symptoms include visible drum sag (the drum sits lower on one side when you open the door), torn or damaged door boot seal (from the drum shifting and rubbing), and increased wear on the shock absorbers. This genuine OEM LG part directly replaces 4970FR2084Z. Sold individually — most models use 2–4 springs, and replacing all springs simultaneously is recommended for even suspension. Fits LG and Kenmore Elite front-load washers. Easy 30–45 minute DIY repair that restores smooth, quiet operation.
