Description

The SUSPENSION KIT is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool brand top-loading washing machines. It incorporates external shock-absorbing mounts that cushion washer movement during spin cycles.

Causes of a bad suspension include general wear from years of tumbling loads. Exposure to physical impacts that stress mount points introduces further risk. 

Symptoms of a bad suspension involve:

• Visible washer wobbling or imbalance during spinning 
• Audible vibrations traveling into surrounding structures
• Mounting feet failing to securely anchor washer in position

Replacing it with this genuine Whirlpool part restores stability and extends product life. Vibration control safeguards inner tub bearings while enhancing user experience.

Note: set of 4. Includes suspension bushings and suspension balls.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement suspension is also compatible with Maytag, Magic Chef, Roper, and some Kenmore top-loading washer models. Dependable cushioning maximizes laundering efficiency cycle after cycle.
