Stephen Broadway September 23, 2023 for Model Number WET4027HW The tub in this washer bottoms out solid with about 5 inches of water in the tub. No give at all. We changed suspension rods but nothing changed. It won't complete a wash at all. What can we do?
1 Answer Stephen, The only thing that would cause the tub to bottom out would be faulty suspension rods or rods that are not installed properly. Read More...
Kaycee September 07, 2023 for Model Number s 82984120 Drum is off balance from improper loading of clothes, and can be manually centered for a cycle. It will start out ok, but at the near-end fill and cycle spin, it will leak out water (from the back bottom of machine) that is filling the drum because the drum is now too far forward to catch all the water and part of the fill water goes outside the drum. Mostly restricted to heavier loads. I suspect it just needs new suspension rods? It is an old machine, but I’d like to keep it going. My teenage son was improperly loading clothes and would cause imbalanced spin cycles and ever since it has this problem sometimes upon filling. Is this a suspension rod issue or something else?
Anthony February 20, 2022 for Model Number WTW5000DW2 I just replaced the 4 suspension rods in my whirlpool washer due to crazy shaking. I noticed the rods were a little bit longer than the original, about an 1" to 1-1/2" and still the washer shakes. Do the rods need to be the same length as the original?
1 Answer Anthony, Based on the model number provided the suspension rods should be the W11130362 . These are shorter than the ones you used. Read More...
Stefanie January 19, 2022 for Model Number mvxw655dw I have a Maytag Bravos XL washer that keeps going off balance during the spin cycle, it is shaking horridly and moves across the floor. I am guessing it is the suspension spring? I just want to know before I go to change them. Thanks Stefanie
1 Answer Hello Stefanie, it is possible the out of balance problem is caused by weak/worn suspension rods, however first check if the inner tub is off-center, rotate the inner tub and see if it rotates true, if it is wobbling inside the outer tub that would cause this problem and the fix would be a new inner tub,if the tub is not the problem then replace the suspension rods.

Michael January 10, 2022 for Model Number Maytag bravos 300 Would this fix the unbalance and being very loud when spinning?

Melissa October 25, 2021 for Model Number mel_inocencio@yahoo.com my kenmore washer sometimes does not want to rinse my load. I was told that the suspension rods need to be replaced that they are messing with the sensors. my machine is shaking but I thought the rods were just to keep the tub from moving?
1 Answer Melissa, We will need to have the model number of your washer to be able to properly assist with your question. Read More...
Kenneth July 19, 2021 for Model Number Kenmore 102.20022013 I just replaced the suspension rods(110.20022010) in my Kenmore washer (102.20022013).......after I completed the job I put in a load of laundry and started the machine. On the initial fill up it keeps running.......water overflowing onto the floor........does not seem to sense when to stop filling the tank. I managed to empty the tub. I've unplugged to try and reset. Tried it again.......still filling too much. Do you have any advice on what to check? Thanks......
1 Answer Kenneth, Check to make sure that the pressure hose did not detach from the tub or from the controls because this will cause the unit to overfill with water. Read More...
Brian June 24, 2020 for Model Number WTW4800XQ4 I'm looking to replace the suspension rods in my whirlpool washer, but noticed that there is still some water between the tub walls. Will this all leak out when I tip the washer over to replace the rods or should it be ok? I tried running the "drain and spin" cycle to remove the water, but the tub is so out of balance that it didn't really work. Thank you.
1 Answer Brian, Yes, there is a potential for the water to leak out and the best way to get all the water out would be to get a shop vac, pull the drain hose from the standpipe and suck the water out through the drain hose. This should empty the water out of the rest of the drum. It may also sound like water in the unit when there is not as the balance ring will have a solution in it. Read More...
Doug April 15, 2020 for Model Number Maytag Bravos XL mvwb880bw0 Hello, My Maytag Bravos XL started giving the UL code on most loads during the last spin cycle, even when the load was unbalanced. A few days later, the washer would fill with water but then nothing would happen. I replaced the rotor position sensor and the washer started to work again, but I am still getting a UL code on most of my loads. The wash tub does seem to move back and forth quite a bit and I've wondered if the suspension rods could be going bad? Any help would be much appreciated.
1 Answer Doug, You may want to check a couple of other components that could also cause the UL code, first. Check the motor rotor bolt(in the center of the motor cover) make sure it is as tight as possible. Then remove the wash plate and tub to check the basket hub and drive W10820039 for damage and debris, If the drive gear or hub is distorted or blocked, and the tub cannot "drop" down and engage the drive gear properly the control can produce a UL error code.

Diane March 26, 2020 for Model Number Whirlpool Cabrio WTW7300XW2 I just replaced the suspension rod kit. In the video I watched the had springs attached to the rod and basket. My machine does not have these. I am working on a used model so I don't know if they are missing or this model do not have them. Help!
1 Answer Diane, According to the parts listing for your model, there would not be the springs that attach from the rods to the tub. Read More...
