Amana Washer Support Parts

The Suspension Rod Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines, designed to provide support and stability to the washer drum. This kit includes four suspension rods that connect the washing machine drum to the frame, allowing for controlled movement and reducing vibration during the spin cycle. These rods play a critical role in absorbing the motion of the washer drum, ensuring smooth operation and preventing excessive noise or movement that could damage the machine or affect its performance.

Causes of these issues often stem from normal wear and tear, as the suspension rods can become worn out or damaged over time. Heavy or uneven loads can also put extra stress on the rods, leading to premature failure.

Symptoms of a bad part:

• Excessive noise or vibration during operation
• Shaking or movement of the washer
• Unevenly washed clothes or excessive wrinkles

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Suspension Rods are OEM parts for Whirlpool washing machines. They are designed to support the washer's tub assembly, maintaining balance and stability during the spin and agitation cycles. These rods connect the tub to the washer's frame and help absorb vibrations, preventing excessive movement that can lead to operational issues.

Symptoms of bad Suspension Rods include:

• Unusual vibrations or shaking during the wash cycle.
• The washing machine "walking" or moving across the floor.
• Loud banging noises, especially during high-speed spins.
• The tub sagging or tilting more than usual when loaded.

Causes of bad suspension rods can include wear and tear from normal use, stress from unbalanced loads, or degradation of the material properties over time.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Tub Suspension Pads are an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. These pads are designed to provide cushioning and stability to the washer tub, reducing vibration and noise during the wash and spin cycles. This kit contains three pads, each 2 1/4 inches long

Over time, the tub suspension pads can wear out or deteriorate, especially with frequent use or heavy loads. Exposure to harsh chemicals or unbalanced loads can also cause the pads to lose their effectiveness.

Symptoms of bad tub suspension pads include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during operation
• Loud banging or thumping noises during the spin cycle
• The washer moving or "walking" across the floor
• Uneven or poorly balanced loads leading to inefficient washing

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Suspension Bearing Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is designed to support the tub assembly and ensure smooth, stable operation during the wash cycle. The kit includes bearings and other components that help absorb vibrations and reduce noise, contributing to the longevity and efficiency of the machine. The 8-piece set has 4 types of suspension rod supports made of strong plastic and about 1.5 inches in diameter. 

Symptoms of a bad Suspension Bearing Kit include:

• Unusual noise during the spin cycle,
• Excessive vibration or "walking" of the washer,
• The washing machine drum sagging or appearing off-balance.

Causes of suspension bearing failure often involve wear and tear from regular use, overloading of the machine, or inadequate maintenance leading to deterioration of parts.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Snubber Ring is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part dampens the vibration and noise produced during the washer's spin cycle. Positioned at the base of the tub, the snubber ring provides a cushion that absorbs the impact between the moving parts and the stationary frame of the washer. 

Over time, wear or dust on the snubber ring can reduce its effectiveness, causing increased vibration, noise, and stress on the washing machine components, possibly leading to premature failure.

Symptoms of a bad Snubber Ring include:

• Unusual noise during the spin cycle
• The washing machine vibrating more than usual or "walking" across the floor
• Increased wear and tear on other components due to excessive vibration

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Suspension Pad Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It is a kit that includes 3 suspension pads designed to provide stability and reduce vibration during the washer's operation. These pads are designed to absorb shocks and prevent excessive movement.

You should replace the suspension pad kit if the pads become worn out or damaged. Causes of bad suspension pads can include regular wear and tear, overloading the washer, or continuous exposure to high levels of vibration and movement.

Symptoms of bad suspension pads include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash or spin cycles
• Loud banging noises coming from the washer
• The washer moving or "walking" during operation
• Uneven or unbalanced loads despite proper loading

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Suspension Rod Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes four suspension rods that support the washer tub and help absorb vibrations during the spin cycle. These rods ensure the tub remains balanced, providing smooth and quiet operation.

You should replace the suspension rods if they become worn or damaged. Over time, heavy loads, unbalanced loads, or general wear and tear can cause the rods to lose their ability to stabilize the tub effectively. This can lead to excessive vibrations and noise during the wash cycle.

Symptoms of a bad suspension rod kit include:

• Excessive shaking or vibrating during the wash cycle
• Loud banging or knocking noises
• Washer tub not staying centered
• Washer moving or walking during operation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Shock Absorber is an OEM part designed for Whirlpool washing machines. This part helps to dampen the motion of the tub during the spin cycle, reducing vibrations and noise. By absorbing the energy produced during operation, the shock absorber contributes to the stability and longevity of the machine. A well-functioning set of shock absorbers is essential for maintaining the washer's performance and preventing damage to other components.

Causes of a bad shock absorber can include wear and tear from regular use, excessive load sizes or unbalanced loads, and structural damage from moving or improper handling.

Symptoms of a bad Shock Absorber include:

• Increased vibration and noise during the spin cycle
• The washer moving or "walking" across the floor
• Unusual wear on other components due to excessive movement

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Suspension Rod Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. This kit contains the suspension rods that connect the outer tub to the base of the washing machine, providing support and stability during the wash cycles. Each rod measures 23-1/4"L x 1-1/2" in diameter, designed to handle heavy loads.

Symptoms of worn or damaged suspension rods may include:

• Excessive vibration or shaking during spin cycles
• Loud banging or thumping noises
• Leaks due to increased stress on tub components
