Washer Banging, Vibrating Excessively, or Drum Sagging? A Broken Suspension Spring Is Almost Always the Cause.
When a suspension spring in your Frigidaire front load washer breaks or loses tension, the drum loses its balanced support — causing violent banging during spin, excessive vibration, off-balance error codes, and visible drum sag. Part 134144700 is the genuine OEM suspension spring, replacing 131277700 and 131663600, and restores proper drum alignment, shock absorption, and balanced operation.
This is the correct spring if your washer is banging loudly during spin, vibrating excessively, throwing off-balance errors, or if you can see the drum sitting lower on one side than the other. Springs should always be replaced as a complete set for balanced operation. Confirm your model number below before ordering.
- Loud banging or clunking during the spin cycle
- Excessive vibration — washer walks across the floor during spin
- Persistent off-balance (UE / Ub) error codes that won’t clear
- Drum visibly sagging or sitting lower on one side
- Spin cycle cuts out repeatedly due to imbalance detection
- Thumping or rumbling noise throughout the wash cycle
- OEM Part Number: 134144700
- Cross-References / Replaces: 131277700, 131663600
- Brand: Frigidaire / Electrolux
- Appliance Type: Front Load Washer
- Part Type: Tub Suspension Spring (drum support coil spring)
- Compatible Brands: Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, Crosley, Kenmore, White-Westinghouse, GE (select models)
- Condition: New Genuine OEM (Used option also available)
Skill Level: Intermediate — requires removing the washer front or top panel to access the tub suspension points.
⚠️ Always disconnect power and water supply before opening the cabinet.
Replace springs as a complete set — installing one new spring with worn originals creates uneven tension and will not resolve the imbalance. Use a spring hook tool to seat the spring ends securely at both the chassis and tub attachment points.

Front load washer suspension springs wear at the same rate — if one has broken, the others are close behind. Replacing only the broken spring leaves uneven tension across the drum, which means the imbalance and banging will return within months. Order a full set of springs (typically 3 or 4 depending on model) and replace them all in the same teardown. It’s the same labour time and eliminates the root cause entirely.
