Had an issue with our older Whirlpool top load washing machine last week - the tub was moving around more than normal and the was a little bit of water under the machine - didn't keep leaking so maybe it was from the additional shake/vibration. When I lifted the machine there was a small pin with a hole in it on the floor - not sure where it came from under the machine but there was also a broken plastic "cup"/holder on the floor as well. The plastic tab that held the plastic cup/holder in place to the frame was still in the hole on the frame (front). There is a similar white plastic cup/holder on the frame at the back with the same pin in it - maybe a spare? Not sure what the pin is for.

The spring loaded rear bracket that attaches to the plastic tub that the wash basket/canister sits in had a large spring that was hanging but not sure where the spring was attached to (maybe the pin? The other two brackets near the front of the plastic tub only have a small spring on it but not the longer spring.

Anyone know where the longer spring in the photo attaches to or have a machine diagram for older Whirlpool top load washing machines.

TIA.
