Gary February 27, 2018 for Model Number WTW4800BQ1 Top loader bangs like a load imbalance on spin.... have replaced drive block and suspension rods..... still bangs against case on large load... what else do I need to check... thanks
1 Answer Gary, Check and make sure the washer is level in both directions, and as close to the floor as possible. Make sure all four feet are on solid ground/floor. Check the cabinet for dents, dings, twists and bends in the metal. Remove the spin basket and check to see if it is "out of round" and/or if the balancing fluid in the top portion of the balance ring has been lost/leaked. Read More...
Chris September 14, 2017 for Model Number GE WWRE52y0doww My friends washer tub is hanging low and as a result during the spin cycle it will bang. I was wondering can i adjust the springs to take up slack or do i need a new set? This washer is quite old but despite the springs in great shape.
1 Answer Chris, For this issue it would require the springs to be replaced. You would need 2 of part number WH16X10057 and 2 of WH16X543. Read More...
Bruce September 01, 2016 for Model Number 110.20022012 Washer goes out of balance often with medium to large loads. The loads do not appear to be noticeably out of kilter. The washer is level. The balance ring has fluid. None of the suspension rods/springs are broken. The tub does bounce up and down several times when pushed down and released quickly. Could the bottom tub/rod bushings be worn out allowing them to slide too easily on the rod? Do the springs get weak? What is the half round grommet on the rod above the tub mount bushing/ball socket for? It would appear it only indicates how far the rod has traveled downward through the tub bushing takes some effort to slide it on the rod.
1 Answer Hello Bruce. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the suspension W10780048 is bad and will need to be replaced. They do become weak over time. Read More...
Kim July 28, 2016 for Model Number Fisher Paytel washer GWL-15 I'm looking for a Tub support rod/assembly. Actually all I need is the plastic top that the rod attaches to. Any advice?
Mike T October 10, 2015 for Model Number WBSE2090A0WW Our GE washing machine is very wobbly and goes way off center during the spin cycle. Could it be a broken suspension and how would I know if its that or something else? Thanks, Mike
1 Answer Mike, The most likely cause for the issue will be the suspension assembly being damaged. You will want to check them to see if there is damage but it will most likely the issue. Read More...

Jon W September 03, 2013 for Model Number Ge washer M#WHRE5260E1WW My washer tub is damaging the washer cover, and had two dampening straps broken in the front. I replaced both those and it still shakes and makes loud banging noise when in spin cycle. I took out the agitator and saw that all the screws (322) but one are sheared off in the bottom of the tub. I wanted to replace the suspension arms, but mine are orange in the back and tan in front. Which color should I buy? And should I replace the bearing hub and associated parts?
1 Answer Hello John. You will need to replace the hub WH45X10060 and order WH16X10057 and WH16X543 for the shocks. Read More...
Joe D March 09, 2013 for Model Number GE washer WDSR2080G3CC Belt pulley is scraping bottom plate of machine when full. Do you think all 4 spring rod assm. are bad all at once?
1 Answer Joe, You more than likely have a bent apron causing the tub to sag enough to cause the motor pulley to scrap. You will need the Kit cover assembly with bracket WH49X20925 to correct this. Read More...
Dan May 02, 2012 for Model Number GE washer wjrr4170e1ww The tub is off center in the enclosure, out of balance during spin, three out of four dampening straps broken. Replaced all four rod and spring assblys (green in back, tan in front), and replaced dampening straps. The tub still seems to list to the back right, not center. What else could be causing this? I havent run it with the new springs yet, will it right itself running, or is there another potential problem?
1 Answer Hello Dan. You will need to check and make sure the leg assembly WH17X101 is not cracked on the unit. Also, make sure the washer is good and level. Read More...
Paul M. April 02, 2012 for Model Number WPRB8050D0WW Why are there 2 different part numbers for the suspension rods? Is part # 414 for the 2 rear rods and part# 415 for the 2 front rods? One rear and one front came out of its bracket can I just reinstall them or do they need to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Paul, There are two different parts because the weight of the motor requires a different strength strut in the front to prevent an uneven spin. There should be no problem with reinstalling the ones you have because the problem was probably caused by a weak weld rod support assembly WH46X10270. These support the full weight of the tub and bend easily when the unit is moved or dropped. When they are necessary, the metal bracket on the bottom of the motor will drag the main base and leave a visible mark. Read More...
