Suspension Spring and Tub spring
Your Roper washing machine’s suspension springs serve to support or suspend your tub’s base. They absorb and absorb the vibrations produced by the spin cycles of your Roper washing machine. The springs may become bent damaged, broken, or even detached which can cause excessive noise and vibration when spinning. How to check the suspension spring of a Roper washing machine

Snubber Ring and Damper Pad & Tube Pads
A snubber ring is a device that helps to reduce the vibrations from Roper washing machines when spinning. They are typically found at the middle of the machine, and serves as a cushion for the tub support system and base. Most tub wear pads and snubber ring components are made from hard plastic. Some damper pads are made of lubricated felt. Each type will eventually wear out and permit the tub to move excessively. They could also become too weak to support the tub. The washer might shake uncontrollably in these instances. How to test the damper pad of your washer:
- Unplug the washer and remove the front panel.
- Find and inspect the snubber. You’ll need to remove the tub springs to check the snubber.

Tub Dampening Strap
Top Load washers with tub dampening bands are employed to cushion tub movement during spin cycles. Four straps are secured to the tub’s top and corner corners. Normal usage can cause the rubber straps to wear out. The tub can be in contact with the cabinet while spinning when the straps stretch or damaged. This causes the washer to shake, move, and create a loud banging noise. Excessive use and large loads will strain the straps, which can lead to premature failure. How to test the buckles that dampen the tub of washers.
- First, unplug the washer.
- Next, go into the cabinet to locate the tub dampening straps.

Support Leg for the washer
The legs that level the washer assist in supporting it. They can also be adjusted to ensure that the washer is level. Some models come with four threaded legs whereas others come with two and two legs that self-level. If your washer vibrates or shakes during the spin cycle, be sure that it’s properly seated and level on all four legs. How do you test the legs that are level in an appliance for washing?
