Troubleshooting & Installation Notes
- Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before service.
- Confirm the washer is level and the floor is solid before diagnosing the suspension system.
- Press down on the basket and release it. Excessive bouncing can indicate worn suspension components.
- Open or lift the washer top according to the model service procedure.
- Support the tub while removing the suspension rods so the tub cannot drop or shift unexpectedly.
- Replace the complete four-rod set rather than mixing heavily worn rods with new rods.
- Seat each suspension ball and bushing correctly and verify every rod is fully engaged before reassembly.
- Reassemble the washer, level the cabinet, and run a test cycle before returning the unit to service.
Diagnostic tip: Excessive vibration can also be caused by an unlevel washer, damaged basket, worn hub, loose counterweight, shipping hardware, overloaded loads, or floor movement. Confirm the cause before replacing parts.
When Should You Replace This Kit?
- The tub bounces repeatedly after being pushed down
- One or more rods are bent, weak, broken, or disconnected
- Suspension balls or bushings are worn or damaged
- The basket repeatedly strikes the cabinet
- The washer remains unstable after proper leveling and load correction
