W11130360 Whirlpool Washer Suspension

Washer Suspension Overview

Whirlpool Corporation offers a range of products under brands like Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible appliances for retailers such as Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The suspension rods, an essential OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, are designed to fit Whirlpool washing machines. These rods, along with springs and mounts, help to prevent harmful vibrations during the washer's operation.

Common issues with faulty suspension rods include wear and tear leading to fatigue and cracks, breaks from impacts, or loosened mounting brackets.

Typical signs of malfunctioning rods are:

- Noticeable shaking or bouncing during even gentle wash cycles
- Distinct clanking and knocking sounds during operation
- Potential floor damage due to excessive movement of the washer
- Increased stress on transmission components due to erratic washer motion

It is important to note that the kit includes all four necessary rods.

The replacement kit aims to enhance vibration control and includes new rods, springs, and mounting hardware. It is suitable for use with various models from brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
