Customer Questions and Answers for Suspension Rod Kit by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM17955348
Manufacturer Part Number: W10820048

The Suspension Rod Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This kit includes four suspension rods designed to support the washing machine's tub assembly. By absorbing vibrations and stabilizing the tub during the spin cycle, these rods play a crucial role in reducing noise and preventing the washing machine from moving excessively. 

Causes of a bad Suspension Rod Kit can include normal wear and tear, overloading the washing machine, or frequent heavy cycles that put extra strain on the rods. 

Symptoms of a bad Suspension Rod Kit include:

  • The washing machine is excessively noisy during the spin cycle.
  • The tub seems unbalanced or moves more than usual, even with light loads.
  • The washing machine "walks" or moves from its original position during operation.
  • Unfinished cycles or error codes indicating an unbalanced load.

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

Answer

Hi Angie. The suspension rods insert like this: Locate the blue "cup" support on each rod. This support along with the spring assembly has to be inserted in the lower sides of the tub. The upper hooks on the rod will catch onto the top inner corners of the cabinet frame. You will need to release the clips on the top of the front panel with a putty knife. They are located under the top area just where the top meets the front. About 3-4" from the corners inward. they will allow you to lift the top up for replacement of the suspension rods. Hope this helps. Thank you.
