Additional Information

This Whirlpool Washer Suspension Rod Kit is specifically engineered to replace older parts, including parts W11027174, W11033491, and W11228718. The suspension rods play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of your washing machine by dampening the movement of the inner tub, thereby reducing potential wear and tear on the unit. Common issues such as excessive shaking, banging noises, or an off-balance tub during spin cycles are typically resolved with the installation of this kit.

To install, ensure the washer is unplugged and empty, and consult the washer's service manual for detailed instructions. It's advised to replace all four rods simultaneously, as uneven wear can diminish the effectiveness of the kit.

By replacing worn or broken suspension rods with this kit, users can extend the life of their washing machine and improve its performance, ensuring quieter and more efficient operation over time.

Didn't fix my shaking issue.
April 13, 2022

My washer was shaking on badly. Replaced the suspension by and the pads but still having the same issue. Not sure if suspension was defective or something else is wrong. Replacement process was pretty straightforward but definitely needed a second person to assist.

Washer suspension rods.
February 25, 2022

Watch YouTube videos about replacing the four rods first to familiarize oneself about the disassembly of the washer. Also, replace two rods at a time diagonally to keep the tub balanced. Use one of the old rods to pull the new rod into position. Don't use aftermarket rods to save money, I was ripped off by inferior parts that didn't work properly. Use the Sears brand, they were superior in quality. Too much work involved to do the job twice.
