Whirlpool Suspension W11130360 OEM Part

Overview of Washer Suspension Systems

Whirlpool Corporation produces a wide array of appliances under well-known brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. They also manufacture appliances compatible with retail brands like Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. One vital component for their washers, the suspension rods, are genuine OEM parts crafted specifically for Whirlpool machines. These rods, along with accompanying springs and mounts, function to minimize disruptive vibrations during use.

Issues often arise with suspension rods due to typical wear, leading to fatigue and potential cracking, impacts that cause breaks, or loosening of their mounting brackets.

Indications of malfunctioning suspension rods include:

- Excessive shaking or bouncing, even during mild wash cycles
- Noticeable clanking and knocking noises during operation
- Potential damage to the flooring from the washer's excessive movement
- Added stress on the transmission system due to unpredictable washer motion

Importantly, the replacement kit comprises all four necessary rods.

This kit aims to improve vibration management and includes new rods, springs, and mounting accessories. It is compatible with a variety of models from brands such as Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
