Ge WH16X544 Suspension Rod & Spring Assembly OEM Part

I have a 14 year old GE washing machine that had been making a lot of noise while running but had eventually just stopped flat. The agitator and spin cycle would not run. I found this site and made excellent use of all the repair videos to study about my issue. I put in my machine model number and I Immediately was able to start honing in on what my problem could be from website advice about popular repair parts, stories others had shared about their similar machine issues and watching videos, I was overcome with a calmness assuring me that I COULD ACTUALLY DO THIS! I never repaired a machine (of any type) in my life. But after taking the front panel off the machine (which they show you how to do like everything else, step-by-step) and finding the broken belt laying on the bottom panel- I was able to decipher what my problem likely was and how to fix it. I took a few days and finally ordered all the parts I thought I needed. Order placed on Thursday night parts received on Sunday afternoon!! When my parts came, new belt, new belt installation tool, dampening straps and 2 different suspension rods, I reviewed repair videos for each part’s replacement and I was able to meticulously make each repair in a sensible order and within a sensible time frame. The trickiest repair was the belt replacement. Just listen and watch the video and understand that once you thread the belt around the belt replacement tool and secure it with a zip tie to the pulley on the left side that you do not have to try to stretch the belt around the pulley wheel, just calmly turn the pulley until the zip tie has gone all the way around the pulley wheel and has now returned to your vision, in front, on the right side. Expect some resistance but nothing like you trying to manually stretch the belt around the pulley (haha). Anyone can do these repairs. With new washing machines starting at $500 my repairs were way more affordable. THANKS appliancepartspros.com! Not only did you save me a bundle, but you helped me impress my wife with my handyman skills. Will definitely be shopping here again!!

I replaced all 4 suspension rods and springs and now it spins very smooth. They weren't broken, just badly worn. It gave new life to my 15 year old GE Profile washer. They are basically springs, so they wear after a while. It was well worth the hour I spent fixing it. You need a good long reach to get to the back 2 and you have to take off the dampening straps and the control panel so you can gain access. All in all, I'm happy with the repair, although I though that these parts are bit pricey for what they are, but at least the labor was free. If you watch the video online, anybody can do this repair.

One of my suspension rods had corroded and its spring was no longer providing suspension to the washing machine drum. This caused the distance between the upper connection point and the top of the suspension point to be longer than it should be. The extra distance between these points caused the rod to repeatedly came loose from the washing machine Leg and Platform Weld Assembly. Because the rod was disconnected from the Leg and Platform Assembly, the washing machine drum would sag in one corner and cause a lot of banging especially on the spin cycle. I watched a the video on how to repair the suspension rod which gave very thorough instructions for making the repair. I followed the instructions to take apart the cabinet of the washing machine and get access to the areas necessary. I popped the part in very quickly and noticed the machine was no longer sagging. I've run two loads the through machine and all is well! I'm very satisfied with the customer service at AppliancePartsPros.com and very satisfied with the quality of the part and the repair.

I replaced the suspension rods. the repair vidio made this repair a no brainer

I viewed the instruction videos on Appliance Parts Pro's web site for all of the parts. Replaced all 4 suspension rods and spring assemblies, rod supports, and washer tub dampening straps. Also replaced the washer agitator coupler due to the rattle when moving the coupler by hand.
