How To Replace The Suspension Leg On a Washing Machine

Video Transcript:

Hi my name is Shawn and I'm going to be showing you how to replace the suspension leg on a Zanussi washing machine.  You may have a different make and model but the procedure should be similar no matter which brand of washing machine you have.  Always remember to isolate the washing machine from the mains before carrying out any DIY repairs.

First of all we need to gently lower the washing machine on to it's back.  This will give us access to the bottom of the machine and access to the suspension legs.

The suspension leg is fitted to the tub with a plastic pin which first needs removing.  You'll need to depress the plastic lugs on the pin in order to remove it.  The supension leg will then become free from the washing machine outer tub.

Now we can remove the 2 screws that are holding the lower part of the supension leg to the bottom of the washing machine casing.

The suspension leg can then be removed from the washing machine and replaced with a new one.

Washing machine suspension legs and all other washing machine spares can be found on the Ransom Spares website, thanks for watching!
