[quote=JLM81;7562]Hi,

I have a Gibson stackable model number MLCE52RCS1. I was looking at the washer-drive assembly drawing (11), and I can’t tell if there are two part 6’s or two part 5’s. The one with the counterspring–looks like part 6, so a base, is bent. (1) Am I reading the part number for the one with the counter spring correctly? (2) Because this is bent, is it necessary to replace the other ones? (3) Should I replace the counter spring as well? (4) There appears to be a set of slots for 2 countersprings on that one base, but only one spring–should there be two?

Thanks.[/quote]

(1) The counterweight spring (drawing #4), part number [COLOR=#0066cc]AP2147314[/COLOR]

(2) If I got you right, when you said “the bolt on the base was bent” you meant the suspension assembly or leveler (drawing #5) with part number [COLOR=#0066cc]AP2147315[/COLOR] ?
You do not have to replace all three. Replace only what was damaged.

Did you check the tub support (drawing #19) for any damages?

(3) If the counterweight spring is not worn out and/or not damaged you do not have to replace it.

(4) There is only one counterweight spring.
