I'm not sure if anyone else figured this out but rather than trying to fight with vise grips and cutting your arms up you can stick one of the new springs through the hole hook onto the old spring and pull it up and insert the new keeper very easily.
:-) wish I'd seen this a few days ago! GREAT idea. What I did was pop thr tub top piece off which gave all sorts of toom. Vice grip method sucked.
This tip made this so much easier, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
That's what I did on the last two!! My forearm is tender from fighting with them grip pliers!!!
I wish I had read this before doing mine. Since I'm on blood thinners, my arms look like I was defending myself from a beating.
Mind is officially blown.! Thank u
Thank you so much for this video! We were quoted $500 to fix our washer, which is only $60 shy of what we paid for it. I'm still out $140 for the service call, but we bought the suspension rod kit for about $130 and were able to fix the washer ourselves in about 30 minutes. It did take three of us - my son held the tub out of the way while my husband held the flashlight and handed me parts. I did the actual work because my arms and hands are small enough to easily fit in there. The washer is only 2 years old, btw. I'm so glad we didn't give up on it.
This is excellent to hear, and glad you didn't give up on it!
Same here. I was throughly shocked when I was quoted 475 dollars, and then saw this video and realized I could easily do it myself 🙏🏻
$140 service call…. I only charge $65, good god.
I fixed mine, female age 73. Thanks
Thank you! I followed the video, but had trouble getting the new rod through the support hole on the washer. So, I used the old rod, looped it to the new one and pulled it through! It was fast and I replaced all four suspension rods in less than 45 minutes!
Perfect DYI tutorial, excellent editing as well!
Thank you Steve and PartSelect. With the information in your video I was able to replace the suspension rods in my washer. My 11-year-old son was my second pair of hands and all I needed him to do was slide the top socket onto the rod for each corner while I pulled up the rod and drum. We are rnning a load now and the wobble is gone. Thank you again.
Yeah need more hands for that part for sure.
Thanks for the amazing tutorial! I had two repairmen come to my house and they fixed the problem for a few weeks before it started to had the same problem, they told me i needed a new washer.. I decided to try and buy new absorbers and repare it my self because they never changed the absorber.. The washer is working great now, so thanks for saving me a few bucks on a new washer!
Pro tip, if you use the hook end of the old rod, in the hook end of the new rod it is a lot easier to orient it into the bushing lock.
Thank you, the vice grips really helped, your instructions to include the little things on how to remove the black clips at the bottom really help.
We just finished fixing our washer and I can't thanks you enough for this video
Thank you very much for this video. I watched a few times before taking on this job. I spent $61.97 for the rod kit and took out the washer installed the rods and reinstalled it in a little more than an hour. Thanks again for your video.👍🏼
I put a 4x4 block under the tub motor, it raised the tub so there was no weight on the suspension rods while I locked them in.
Absolutely one of the very best DIY videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. Well done and Thank You !!
Glad you liked it!
Do the suspension rods ever just come unhooked?
Wonderful video. Thank you so much for taking the time.
I did mine today, shakes more violently now than it did before..lol
Thanks Steve, very helpful !!
All of the tops you didn't orient the ball right. The top hooks set down in the ball
Nice work and help, thank you 👍
Thank you for posting!!!!
Excellent, the best video thank you
Are all four rods the same? I switched them out and now the tub is leaning. I noticed two rods seem to have more play although they’re new. I changed all four.
Well done and great video! Helps a lot!!
Very helpful, thank you 🙏
Thank you very much Sir!
Thank you sir.
Thank you!
Thanks . It's the best video
Thank you very much Sir! Very Good Video!
Replaced mine with New ones it still would through a pro bull rider to the ground.
Very good tutorial but why must everyone add distracting music in the background , why, someone please tell me why?
I noticed you didn't recalibrate the machine to have it go back to its ordinal settings
I have a Maytag model MVWC565FW1 The rod on the front left as your looking at it (by the liquid bleach dispenser). I had an issue getting that back in working around the dispenser
d
Same thing happend to me i dont know what else to do
EXCELENT video!
Replaced mine and my washer shakes worse …
The video was very helpful but I did run into a couple of problems. 1. The hole at the bottom of the tub where the spring goes did not have a slot so that you could install it from the top, you had to first insert the assembly from the bottom therefore had to keep going from bottom to top. 2. I had to work in a very limited space. Between these two problems a job that should have taken less than an hour took 3 hours.
Your tutorial was very helpful. However instead of locking pilers use the old rod to hook the new rod then pull it through the bushing sleeve then set new bushing around the new rod. A 15-minute fix saving you lost of money.
Man, lucky you. Mine didn't come with those holes, I had to have my husband help me lean the thing on its side so we could pull the rods out of the bottom and put the new ones in the same way.
Did anyone notice that he didn't put the hook in the upper ball correctly? Look at it the way it was in the beginning at 2:55 and how he put it at 6:43. He did the same thing on the back one at 9:58. 🤣
I was about the post that! LOL Hilarious. Even a newbie would put it on the same as the old one.
Ya, yup, I was just about to mention that. Now, why would he do that?! lol
will this fix my washer from stopping during spin cycle from excessive knocking and banging and leaving my clothes soaked?
I have same question...too bad you didnt get a reaponse
Very likely it will.
It should, but the rods have to be evenly balanced once placed.
What about the tub centering springs?
Would worn suspension cause the entire wash basket to drop down about 3" when full of water?
Can't seem to find info on this issue. Just started happening.
No off balance or banging issues. The entire basket just drops down, almost to the floor when full.
👍
Is this the fix for a washer that sounds like the gates of hell are trying to get out of the washer when it goes into the spin cycle?
Yes
Lifting the drum and heavy motors with one hand is nearly impossible. On our machine you cannot do it without two people, one holding up the drama the other one to maneuver the rod into the plastic part.
Yeah gets difficult right at a couple inches left to go.
I tried all these fixes to get the washer to stop shaking. Here is how I fixed it. Take out the tub, it comes right out after removing the center bolt. Flip the tub upside down and shake it. Remove the $2.50 in coin trapped between the two parts of the tub. That's it, the shocks are fine, they slide on the rods, the springs are fine if not broken. Washer works like new.
Thanks I’m going to give this a try next
OMG. That's hilarious!
Just retired due to this tip.
Thank you!
I dropped my pliers. Lol
WHY SO UNNECESSARY BACKGROUND MUSIC ? ITS DISGUSTING .
Most of these new Whirlpools don’t have suspensions.
Mine worked for a week or so then started banging again. Looks like I have to buy another one the New World Order machines that last for 3 to 4 years.
How do you know a rod is BAD??
With the lid open and washer empty, push back and forth on the center of the drum. If the whole drum moves around very easily, the spring rods are too loose = bad
Just wash and wait for the spin it scares the hell out of you with the tumbling the tub is also leaning to one side
If my suspension is worn out would that cause a fault with my machine resulting in it not turning on? I plug mine in and all it does is buzz please help?
No a worn out suspension will cause an Uneven Load error.
Change over the hose from hot to cold water is not getting in I had that problem I just change around the hose and it started catching water hope that helps
Maybe I should go into the "service call" business, just charge people good money to come and look at it, but do nothing.
Hey, those aren't locking pliers that's clearly a vise grip
Correct A vice grip
