I have a Amana top load washing machine and I’m wondering why I need to replace the suspension rod springs. I’ve noticed that when I put a load of laundry in the washer, the drum doesn’t seem to be balanced. It shakes and vibrates a lot more than it used to. I’m concerned that this could cause damage to the machine if I don’t replace the suspension rod springs. I’m also wondering if this could be causing the washer to use more water and energy than it should. I’m hoping that replacing the suspension rod springs will help to balance the drum and make it more efficient.
The suspension rod springs are responsible for providing the necessary support for the washer tub during the spin cycle. If the springs become worn or damaged, they may not be able to provide the necessary support, leading to excessive vibration and noise during the spin cycle. Additionally, if the springs are too weak, the washer tub may move excessively, leading to an unbalanced load and poor washing performance. Replacing the suspension rod springs can help to restore the washer’s performance and reduce noise and vibration.
