Frequently Asked Questions
•How do I know if my suspension rods are bad?
Visually inspect the rods for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bends, or broken springs. Also, check for excessive play or looseness in the rod attachments. If the washer tub moves excessively when you push down on it, the suspension rods may be worn.
•Where can I buy replacement suspension rods for my Roper washer?
You can purchase replacement suspension rods from most appliance parts retailers, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. Be sure to have your washer's model number handy to ensure you order the correct parts.
•What other parts should I replace when replacing the suspension rods?
It's a good idea to inspect and potentially replace the snubber rings or bushings that attach the suspension rods to the washer base. These components can also wear out over time and contribute to shaking and vibration.
