Washer Suspension Rod Kit W10780051 OEM Part

The Suspension Rod Kit, an authentic OEM component, is engineered for Whirlpool washers and is also suitable for use with brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore. This kit includes suspension rods that connect the washer’s outer tub to its base, providing essential stability and support during operation. Each rod measures 23-1/4 inches in length and 1-1/2 inches in diameter, specifically designed to handle substantial loads.<br /><br />Signs of worn suspension rods are evident, manifesting as excessive vibrations or shaking during spin cycles, unusual noises such as banging or thumping, stress-induced leaks, and increased movement of the washing machine. Common reasons for suspension rod failure include normal wear and tear, damage from overloading, or issues from incorrect installation or leveling.<br /><br />Whirlpool produces this component for its own machines and also supplies it for products sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brands.
