W10780045 Whirlpool Suspension Rod
The Top Load Washer Suspension Rod Kit helps to dampen the movement of the washer tub during unbalanced cycles. This kit includes (4) suspension rods, (4) bushings, (4) suspension balls and installation instructions. Replacing these parts will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the washing machine and novice repair experience. You must unplug the washing machine or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
