The Suspension Rod & Spring Assembly is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is a component that helps support and stabilize the drum during the wash and spin cycles. The suspension rod and spring assembly work together to absorb vibrations and maintain proper balance, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the washer. A bad suspension rod can be caused by various factors. Over time, the rods or springs may wear out, become weak, or break due to continuous use and the constant movement of the drum. Heavy loads or excessive vibration can also contribute to the degradation of the suspension assembly. Symptoms of a bad suspension rod and spring include excessive shaking or bouncing of the drum during operation, loud banging noises, or the washer not spinning properly. This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
