w10780045 whirlpool Suspension USA

Technical specifications:

• Function: Hang and support the washing drum to absorb kinetic energy and vibrations caused by the rotation of the laundry.

• Compatibility: Original piece (OEM) designed to fit a wide range of Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, and Amana washing machines.

• source: American Made (USA).

• components: The kit typically includes springs (Springs) that connect the drum to the upper frame, and fasteners (Damper pads) for the base, to ensure the washing machine operates quietly and balanced.

How to use and maintain

• Mechanism of action: The drum is suspended by these springs, allowing it to move (float) within the fixed washer body. This design allows the system to absorb the imbalance of clothing distribution during spinning rather than transmitting vibration to the washing machine's external structure.

• Signs of damage:

  1. Violent vibration: The washing machine "moves out of place" or emits a strong vibration during the spin.

  2. Collision noise: Hearing a metal knocking sound or the drum hitting the washing machine body while it is rotating.

  3. Duplicate error codes: Symbols (such as UL or OL) that indicate an unbalanced load (Unbalanced Load) appear continuously despite good distribution of clothing.

  4. tilt: Note that the washing machine drum is tilted or not positioned properly inside the machine.

• Installation tips:

  • Separate resources: must Turn off the power and close the water source before starting.

  • Complete replacement: It is highly recommended to replace all suspension springs in the kit at once. If you replace certain springs and leave the old ones behind, it will cause a new imbalance as the old springs lose their original elasticity.

  • settlement: After installing the new system, make sure that the washing machine is placed on a completely flat floor and use a water scale to make sure that the device is level, as any tilt will restore pressure on the springs and shorten their life.
