The suspension rod kit supports the wash drum and keeps it stable during unbalanced loads. If your washer is making a loud banging sound during the washing cycle, check to ensure the suspension rods are undamaged and working properly. This kit comes with 4 suspension rods, 4 bushings, and 4 suspension balls.

Easy ordering and recommended do it yourself fix!
Replacing the rods and springs on our Whirlpool washer helped eliminate the crazy loud banging of the tub and the constant "UL" code that would stop the wash cycle before it would finish. This is the 3rd time I've used PartSelect to order appliance parts to do the repair myself.

Washer would go into an unbalanced error code
Replaced 4 suspension rods. Had to release washer top from body case by twisting putty knife between lid and body. Once released swung lid up and propped against wall to access suspension rods. Replaced all rods and reinstalled lid. Good test run, no unbalanced error.

Whirlpool Cabrio top load washer Error UL
Lived about 6 months with noisy, unbalanced, vibrating top-load washer that would not fully drain clothes or finish a spin cycle.
Watched as many You-Tube repairs videos as we could. Had difficulty trying to open the top panel for access to spin tub.
Discovered that we had clips in front, about 6" from each side, tha
... Read moret needed pressure push with flat metal paint scraper, in order to open the top for access.
Other than that delay, took us about 2 hours total with two of us working together. In the end, Suspension Kit was exactly what we needed, and NO longer get the UL error code, with bothersome constant spin stops, which failed to spin water out of wet clothing.

For model number MTW6500TQ0

I hate to spend money on parts if not sure of the problem. How do i test the suspension springs on my washer to see if bad before i buy new springs? Ever thing looks good, nothing broken, 2007 Whirlpool, walks around the block when spin cycle, even with no cloths in washer. Thanks ron ps, if you see my washer going your way, can you send it back to me.
Good Morning,
Thank you for your question. There is no test for the springs unfortunately. The only thing I could suggest you do is take one of the springs off and pull on it. If the spring can be stretched fairly easily, then it will likely need to be replaced. Usually when you are having such strong shaking and moving, it is your suspension rods that would be the issue. Good luck with your repair.

If replace suspension and basket parts and still i'm and stops, what are the chances that water pump is partially bad? Still have a little water below bottom of tub. Please advise if this is possible. Thanks
For model number Www6400sw2
Hello Mark, Thank you for your inquiry. You can test the pump with a multimeter to see if it has continuity. We would also advise checking the water inlet valve as well. Hope this helps!

My sister in law purchased her Whirlpool cabrio washer in 2007. Recently her washer started to shake during the rinse/spin cycle, get the "ul" code, and then stop working. She has tried redistributing the load and restarting which works sometimes. She also tried unplugging the washer and restarted (rebooting the computer) which worked once, but doesn't seem to help the situation. Everything i have researched seems to point to the suspension rods. Should this suspension rod kit take care of the problem?
For model number WTW6600SW2
Hello Mike,
Thank you for your question. The suspension rod is most likely to fix the issues since the error refers to an off-balance in the washer tub, it would help keep the tub balanced and fix the issues. We hope this helps.

. what is wrong with your washing machine after you have change the suspension rods and it is still banging ?what do i need to do ?
For model number Mtw6600tb0
Hello Ronnie, thank you for your question. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the Suspension Ball Kit Part Number: W10198919, Basket Hub Kit Part Number: W10820039, and your Leveling Leg Part Number: W10739673 to be sure they are keeping the unit level. I would also check the Tub Ring WPW10130807. I hope this helps!

Will your suspension rod kit (part#ps11723157) fit the Maytag bravos xl model#mvwb725bw0?
For model number MVWB725BW0
Hello Joseph and thanks for writing.
No, but Suspension Part Number: PS2355518 is in the list of compatible items for your model. Hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
The washer works fine until the spin cycle, then it gets unbalanced. The ul code comes on and the washer shuts down. Reloading the washer sometimes works after several try. What part do i need to repair this problem. P.S. I just changed the drain motor. Thanks
For model number wtw6600sw2
Hi Mike,
Thank you for your inquiry. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the basket hub, the drain pump, the rotor position switch and the electronic machine and motor control board. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

How long are your suspension rods for model #wtw6400ws3 whirlpool cabrio washer - supposed to be 29.5 - 30 inches long. But everyt time I get this part (4 companies now) it only measures 26.25 - 26.5 inches long???
I keep getting OEM part # W10820048. It's obviously wrong! 4 different companies have done the same at 26.25 - 26.5 inches long.
THEY ARE TOO SHORT!
For model number Wtw6400sw3
Hello Joy, thank you for contacting us. Based on our research, the mentioned suspension rod kit, part number PS11723157, is compatible with your model. The length of the suspension rod is approximately 26 inches. We hope this helps!

What is the difference between the red and blue suspension rods
For model number GCWP1800D0WW
Hi Ira, thank you for your question. As listed in each part title description. The red are your rear rods and the blue are your front rods. This kit does not fit your appliance. You will need two of each of the red and blue rods listed directly underneath your appliance. Good luck with your repair.
