W10780051 WHIRLPOOL SUSPENSION USA

Technical specifications:

• Part type: Suspension Rod Kit (Suspension Rod Kit).

• Compatibility: original piece of Whirlpool model number W10780051. This kit is specifically designed for modern top-loading washing machines (Top-Load Washers) from Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and Amana.

• Function: These bars act as a "shock absorber" (Shock Absorbers). Its function is to support and stabilize the outer drum as it rotates, and to absorb vibrations caused by the movement of washing or squeezing, especially when the load of clothes is unbalanced.

• Design: The kit usually consists of 4 rods with springs (Springs) and special grease to reduce friction and facilitate mechanical movement.

Methods of use and installation

• When to replace:

  • Violent vibration: The washing machine "moves" from its place during the spin cycle, or makes a strong sound as a result of the drum colliding with the washing machine's external structure.

  • Error messages: An error code indicating "Unbalanced" (Unbalanced Load) appears on the screen continuously, even with small amounts of clothing.

  • Mechanical damage: Upon examination, you find that the bars have lost their elasticity (become too soft) or that the grease on them has dried completely, preventing them from absorbing shock.
