Parts That Fix Roper Washer RTW4440XQ0 Shaking and Moving
The suspension spring supports the outer tub and keeps the tub steady during loads that could cause an unbalance. If this part breaks, is worn down or has stretched out and lost its spring, it could cause the load to be off-balance which can lead to excessive shaking, moving, noise, and leaks. For this repair, you will need a 1/4 nut driver, a putty knife, a flat blade screwdriver, and a pair of needle-nose pliers. Disconnect the power supply, fill hoses, and drain hose to give you safe and easy access (have a container nearby for water left in drain hose). This item is sold individually, which is important as you may need to repair multiple springs in your appliance, which carries three suspension springs. As an inexpensive part, we recommend purchasing several at a time, as they can be very useful to have on-hand.

This is a pack of three suspension pads for your washer. The suspension pads in your washer are found underneath the tub and prevent the rotating metal parts from grinding on one another.

It is recommended to replace all three suspension pads at the same time.
This is a replacement suspension spring retainer for your washer. The retainer holds the suspension spring in place while the washer is operating. If you notice movement, or an unusual noise or shaking of your washer when it is in use, it could mean that the suspension spring has been disconnected because of a broken or missing spring retainer. You will find the suspension spring retainer at the bottom of the tub assembly. To replace the retainer, use a pair of pliers to disconnect the suspension spring from the chassis mount to relieve the tension. Then, remove the spring from the retaining clip, and remove the retaining clip from the bottom of the washer. Attach the new retaining clip to the bottom of the washer, reattach the spring, and stretch it slightly so it can connect to the chassis. This part is sold individually.
