The genuine OEM Suspension Rod Kit contains four rods specifically designed for LG washing machines. These rods are essential for reducing vibrations and ensuring the drum's stability when handling heavy loads. Additionally, this kit is compatible with select Kenmore models.
Common causes of suspension rod failure include extended use with heavy loads, damage from overloading, unbalanced loads, and the development of cracks due to repeated stress.
If suspension rods malfunction, several problems may occur:
1. The machine might vibrate excessively, leading to rattling noises.
2. The washer could shift or move on uneven surfaces.
3. There may be accelerated wear on transmission components because of insufficient shock absorption.
This kit is also applicable to some Sears-Kenmore products.
