1 Answer Eugene, Check that the machine is level and on a firm, sturdy foundation. Make sure the load is balanced and of like items. if all this is done then replace the suspension rods. Read More...
Louis July 13, 2022 for Model Number GTWN4950L0WS Hi, my washer is banging during wash and spin cycles even with small loads. I suspect the suspension rods must be bad. Do I need to replace all four or just the one that is failing. If so, how can I identify the failing rod? Thanks.
1 Answer Louis, It will be your best option to replace all of the suspension rods. If one is failing then the others are not far behind. Read More...
Ronnie January 18, 2021 for Model Number GE washing machine While filling tub, water begins to leak near top of tub onto floor. This does this with heavy load. It appears tub sinks in front causing water tap to spray water behind tub at top. Does this fix require new suspension rods and springs?
1 Answer Ronnie, We will need to have the model number to properly assist with you with your question. Read More...
Don December 25, 2020 for Model Number WCSR4170G0WW My washer, on the agitation cycle, will bang as the bottom ear will bang on the base part. Thinking it was the shock absorbers, I replaced these, but still banging, on closer examination, I see that the tub is now hanging down too low -- by a fraction. This is worst on super full loads, but I have always done super loads. So, two questions: Do the springs get "tired"? I was able to hammer down that floor plate a little bit, and the agitation now clears it, but I'm sure this is not how it's supposed to be, in original design. All four are equal (i.e, no springs specifically broken), which is why I'm wondering if the springs shrink over time. And question two, which parts do I need, green in front, and black in the back? Might the front two be enough? Thanks!
1 Answer Don, You will want to check the apron of the washer where the rods attach to. It sounds as though this may be flexing causing the washer to drag on the base. If this is the case then you could install part number WH49X20925 to correct this issue. Read More...
Fred Treitmaier May 21, 2020 for Model Number GUD24ESSJ0WW I am replacing the suspension rods in my GE stackable washer. I noticed the springs are red and black. What color spring goes in Front? I should have paid better attention but did not notice they were different colors. Thanks
1 Answer Fred T, From the parts breakdown, it shows that the back rods are the black ones WH16X22791 and the red ones are on the front WH16X22790 Read More...
Felicia March 07, 2020 for Model Number ewa5600k2ww Tub falls when its washing. Shakes and makes noises. What part do I need for my washing machine?
1 Answer Felicia, while it is normal for the tub to sink as it fills with water, the suspension rods can wear over time and not allow the tub to stay balanced. The suspension rods can be tested by pressing down on the tub as far as it will go (while it is empty). Once it is pressed down, quickly release it and it should rise back up without bouncing up and down. If it does bounce up and down, the suspension rods are failing and would need to be replaced. There are two sets of suspension rods, two of the front suspension rods WH16X10141 and two of the rear suspension rods WH16X10057. Read More...
Daniel May 07, 2017 for Model Number Gtwn4950l0 My machine was making a ton of noise during the fast spin cycle. When I opened up the machine I found the mode shifter had failed, so I replaced it a long with the tub bearing and all nuts\washers in the vertical assembly. Now the machine wobbles and appears to be off balance during the fast spin cycle again. It's really bad at first but settles a bit after a few seconds but still isn't as smooth as it should be. Is there a way to test the balancing rods or could there be something else wrong?
1 Answer Hello Daniel, I would replace the suspension rods WH16X10158 X2 and WH16X10159 X2, if the motor mount is not contacting the main base at the beginning of drain and spin. Also check the leveling of the unit and the damping straps WH01X39337. Also verify the balance ring WH45X10114 has not lost the liquid solution. Read More...
Bud May 01, 2017 for Model Number hswp1000m4ww Whats wrong when machine scraps the bottom of the frame when tub is filled with water
1 Answer Hello Bud. It sounds like the weld support rod WH46X10270 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Terry December 28, 2016 for Model Number kenmore model 110.20022012 During the spin cycle, my machine bangs like it is out of balance and shakes alot. I do not overload the machine. I had a service repairman out who couldn't find anything wrong.
1 Answer Hello Terry, This can be caused by several things. The most common cause is a weak suspension spring W10780048. All four have to be replaced since one weak spring will cause the condition. Another cause is if the unit is not sitting with the weight of the machine equally shared by each of the four legs or if the floor is weak. The last thing, besides not enough items in the load would be a loss of the saline solution in the spin basket W10349185. Read More...
Pramod P. September 20, 2016 for Model Number WCRD2050F3WC The washer does not spin the water out completely with final rinse. This happens infrequently and not all the time. Is it due to worn suspension rods? I have replaced the clutch and motor recently.
1 Answer Hello Pramod, This is quite possible a weak suspension rod, two WH16X10057 for the rear and two WH16X10141 for the front, causing this issue. It can also be due to an imbalanced load due to loading practices. When loading the unit the manufacturer recommends to add each item, one at a time, around the agitator so the unit can achieve a blaanced configuration. A very small load will also cause bunching of the clothing on one side of the spin basket. Read More...
