The Washer Rod and Spring Assembly, available in white for the left side, is compatible with various brands including GE, Hotpoint, and Sears-Kenmore. It serves as an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part specifically designed for GE washing machines. This assembly plays a pivotal role in stabilizing the machine's drum during spin cycles, which helps reduce vibrations and promotes steady performance. The suspension rod is approximately 25 inches in length.

It is advisable to replace the suspension rod if signs of wear or damage are evident. Common reasons for deterioration include regular usage, overloading the machine, or exposure to moisture and corrosive materials. A faulty suspension rod can lead to issues with the machine's balance and overall functionality.

Indications of a malfunctioning suspension rod are:

- Noticeable shaking or vibrating during the spin cycle
- The washing machine becoming unsteady or shifting during use
- Odd banging or thumping sounds
- Potential leaks resulting from added strain on other parts

This replacement part is also suitable for use with some RCA and Kenmore models, enhancing its versatility across different appliances.
