The Suspension Rod Kit is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool washers, compatible with various brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. This kit comprises suspension rods that link the washing machine's outer tub to its base, ensuring stability and support during operation. Each rod is 23-1/4 inches long and 1-1/2 inches in diameter, crafted to manage heavy loads effectively.<br /><br />Indicators of failing suspension rods are noticeable and include excessive vibration or shaking during spin cycles, loud noises such as banging or thumping, leaks stemming from added stress on tub components, and the washing machine moving more than usual. The typical causes for suspension rod deterioration are general wear over time, damage from overloading, or issues related to improper installation or leveling.<br /><br />Whirlpool manufactures this part not only for its own appliances but also for products branded under Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.
