WH16X27179 General Electric Suspension Rod for Washer/Dryer

Suspension Rod for Washer/Dryer.

This product is a genuine OEM replacement suspension rod for GE washing machines, measuring 27 inches in length. It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the inner drum during operation by absorbing vibrations and impacts, thus helping to reduce noise. The suspension rod works in conjunction with other suspension components to ensure smooth functioning.

The brands under the GE umbrella compatible with this rod include Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. Additionally, this part fits certain models of Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore, facilitating straightforward replacements.

Common signs that may indicate the need for replacing the suspension rod assembly are:

- Noticeable increase in machine vibration or rattling during use
- Loud noises during cycles
- Accelerated wear on other machine parts

The deterioration of the suspension rod typically results from normal usage over time. However, factors such as consistently overloading the machine, uneven loading, or other forms of misuse can further stress the suspension system and hasten the need for replacement.
