The Suspension Rod Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines, designed to provide support and stability to the washer drum. This kit includes four suspension rods that connect the washing machine drum to the frame, allowing for controlled movement and reducing vibration during the spin cycle. These rods play a critical role in absorbing the motion of the washer drum, ensuring smooth operation and preventing excessive noise or movement that could damage the machine or affect its performance.

Causes of these issues often stem from normal wear and tear, as the suspension rods can become worn out or damaged over time. Heavy or uneven loads can also put extra stress on the rods, leading to premature failure.

Symptoms of a bad part:

  • Excessive noise or vibration during operation
  • Shaking or movement of the washer
  • Unevenly washed clothes or excessive wrinkles

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

CK Britton, With the unit draining as it fills then you will want to check to make sure that the drainpipe is not shoved too far down in the standpipe. Try pulling the drain hose out of the standpipe some and see if this does not correct the issue.

Jose', Make sure the washer is level in both directions(front to back and side to side) and as low/close to the floor as possible, Check along the sides and back, especially along the bottom of the cabinet, make sure the cabinet and the legs aren't bent or distorted causing the cabinet and washer to shake/vibrate. Make sure the suspension rod kit was installed properly and the tub movement is "normal". Is the washer installed on a solid floor and flooring, a weak, uneven floor will cause the washer to vibrate. If all's OK, run the washer through a full cycle empty, if the washer doesn't move or vibrate, then check for proper usage and loading.

Bob, to change out the suspension rods, they would need to be released from the top corners of the cabin and pulled out from the bottom. The link https://www.appliancepartspros.com/whirlpool-suspension-w10780051-ap5971399.html#autoplay can be used to assist with the repair. This video will also show how to remove the spring from the suspension rod, which once removed from the rod, will lift up off of the tub. The suspension bearings are also noted in this video.
