Video covers how to repair the suspension rods of a washing machine that is shaking and bouncing around. The repair can work for suspension rods in all sort of different brands including: Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, and Admiral. This fix is a lot cheaper then buying new suspension rods, however I am not certain how long it will last and should only be replicated only at your own risk.

I want to share my remedy too. I’m not in the business anymore but I will probably again. I like your site because the way you work is like me too. So I used a hook pick or needle nose to carefull remove the spongey grip inside. The problem is, the rod is wearing away the inside of the spongy grip . Then, I cut the spongey grip with a razor. Removed it. With scissors, I removed more bit by bit, until I could wrap it tightly around the rod again. Then Inwrapped it once and a half with self adhesive tape. For me it’s worked like a charm. I had one failure though. I never knew why because the customer tried to replace with new ones before contacting me. I just finished installing her new rods without ever seeing the old ones I repaired. All other rods to my knowledge are still going.

Thanks for sharing. Maybe I will give this a shot when I have some free time. New ideas are always welcome!

I took mine apart. I bought from amazon some brass shim material. (verry cheap) I lined the entire hole with brass shim. Then I slid my rubber into what is now a smaller tighter hole.

I have done a little research on this subject. I ordered some 1/4” … 2 piece screw on clamps. Not sure what they are called. If/when I get back into appliances, I intend to try them around the top part of the piece that slides up and down a little. Have heard of very good long term results. good results

Ive tried rigged rod remedy's some of THEM worked some didnt Ive put brand new ONES in and it still shook. But you do have to recalibrate these machines after without anything in them its like a reset for the machine after replacing parts

The foam piece is worn out, which makes the spring slide up and down without friction. The foam is inside the plastic body he popped the top off of.

The question is, if the tub ring on top is damage, there is no remedy? And I found mine a little loose, so put 3 screw in the little holes that connect to the tub. Can send picture if you have an an email

Hello do you know the model # of this machine?

@user-vu5pw4nu5d 2 ай бұрын

What do you think if I put some type of epoxy glue on it?

@DuctTapeMechanic 2 ай бұрын

Don't think that will work

I have been told dampening grease works. Am thinking of trying some of it. Also thinking about 2 other ways, foam replacement and or 1/4” double split clamps.
