Customer Questions and Answers for Suspension Rod Kit (Washer), 4 Rods by Whirlpool

This washer suspension rod kit supports and steadies the tub so your machine can spin smoothly with less vibration and noise. Replacing worn suspension helps reduce banging, off-balance interruptions, and wet loads after spin. What it does:

• Supports and centers the wash tub within the cabinet
• Dampens movement to reduce shaking, thumping, and "walking"
• Helps the washer reach and maintain proper spin speed
• Resolve UL/unbalanced errors, excessive vibration, and a tub that sags or leans

• Four suspension rods with pre-attached springs

• Disconnect power and water; move the appliance to access service panels safely
• Lift the top/remove the cabinet; support the tub during service
• Replace rods one at a time to keep the tub supported; match any color-coded positions
• Level the washer after reassembly; perform calibration/diagnostics if the model requires it
