Fred July 08, 2012 for Model Number WLSR3000G1WW Ge washer wlsr3000g1ww bangs during all cycles. Tub sways back and forth during agitate and spin cycle. Motor bottom support plate bangs against (2) small angle shaped parts fastened to cabinet base. Even happens using the 'delicate' setting. Replaced the (4) WH1X2727 rubber shock dampening straps but did not fix problem. I wonder if replacing the (4) WH16X10057 Rod and Spring Assembly Suspension Rod parts would solve the problem ? Thought possibly the springs might have become weak over the years of use allowing the swaying motion. Washer is about 5 years old. The washer has "always" handled 'small' loads, evenly distributed. Washer is level. This problem just started. Thank you for your help and advice.
1 Answer Hi Fred. "Locate 2 spring clips between the top cover and front panel by aligning a putty knife with left or right edge of lid. Insert the putty knife and push forward to release clips. Rotate the front panel forward and lift off the bottom tabs. To remove the cover/lid assembly: Remove the front panel. Remove the lid switch. Remove the two ¼-in. hex screws securing the front of the cover/lid assembly to the cabinet. Pull the top cover toward you while lifting up the front edge to release the side catches. Slide the top cover to the left to release from the 3 tabs. The front and rear rod and spring assemblies have different spring compressions and should not be interchanged. The rods are color-coded to ensure they are replaced in the correct position. Note the color location before removing. Disengage the front rod and spring assemblies by raising the tub and removing the spring assemblies from the platform. The tub assembly will now lean forward. This allows clearance to reach behind the tub and access the rear rod and spring assemblies if necessary." The rear rods are the black colored part # WH16X544. The front rods are the green colored type part # WH16X10057. Thank You. Read More...
Scs February 15, 2012 for Model Number WHDRR418E1WW The tub on my machine is very loose and wobbly. The tub is somewhat noisy when agitating and spinning..a rhythmic thumping sound. I am assuming I need to replace the four suspension rod/spring assemblies. After removing the cabinet pieces I noticed the front rods were yellow, and the rear are orange. I do not see orange listed, only green. Do the green replace the orange (rear)? And do/should I replace all four suspension rods? Thank you - SCS Online
1 Answer Hello SCS. Yes, the green replace the orange and it is best to replace all 4 shocks WH16X10057 when repairing the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...

Mike March 10, 2011 for Model Number EWA4500DOWW What is the difference in a suspension rod and spring assy. # AP204450 and shock # AP3702594 and what location do each go? Thank You
2 Answers Hello Mike. The difference between the two are the tensions on the springs. You will need to look at the ones on your machine to see which ones you will need. See if yours are the yellow ones or the green ones. Hope this helps. Read More...

2 Answers Mike, shock and rod spring assembly are both the same parts, just different names. The shock listed as WH16X10057 has a green rod on the end and is on the left side of the washer. The shock listed as WH16X543 has a yellow rod on the end and is on the right side of the washer. Hope this information helps you! Read More...
