Safety tips
- Always power off and unplug your appliance or switch off the circuit breaker before you attempt any maintenance or replacement work. This keeps you safe by eliminating any risk of electric shock.
- If the appliance has recently been used, give it plenty of time to cool down before working on it.
- Take your time while working to prevent accidents and personal injuries. Rushing is the enemy of precision.
- Work in a well-lit area so you can see and access appliance parts.
- Keep your workspace free of clutter and other obstacles. Keep children and pets away from the work area.
- Never work on internal parts with wet hands. Make sure the work area is completely dry.
- Check the user manual to see if there are specific installation or safety instructions related to your appliance or replacement part.
- Be gentle when handling or removing parts. Excessive force might damage the appliance or cause personal injury.
- Wear insulated work gloves to protect your hands from sharp metal parts and debris.
- When working with wires, avoid touching any exposed wires or terminals. If you need to touch a wire, use a non-conductive tool or wear insulating gloves to prevent electrical shock.
- Always take photos or make a note of wiring terminals or other connections before disconnecting them to make reassembly easier.
- Turn off the water supply at the outlet before beginning repairs. Keep towels ready to catch any residual water in the system when removing parts.
How to replace suspension rods (top-load washer)
If your top-load Whirlpool washer’s tub is sagging on one side or banging against the cabinet during the wash and spin cycles, it likely needs a new suspension rod kit. The suspension rods help keep the tub balanced, but they can wear out over time.
- Remove the 1/4-inch screws of the top panel hinges and the hose cover panel at the back of the washer.
- Take off the rear hose and harness access panel.
- Pull the top panel forward and lift the top panel up, then lean it back against the wall.
- Move the washer tub to the side to access each rod.
- Grab the rod and pull it up to detach it from the bearing.
- Turn the bearing to fully disconnect the rod, then slowly lower it.
- From inside the washer, press up on the insert at the bottom to detach it.
- At the bottom of the tub, the suspension insert will have tabs that will need to be pressed in so that the insert can be pushed down and the rod can be removed. Repeat this process for all 4 suspension rods.
- Insert each new rod through the cutout along the side or back of the washer tub.
- Lift up the insert at the bottom and press it in so the tabs lock into place.
- Pull the rod up and install the new bearing. Turn it 90 degrees to lock it. Repeat this process to install all 4 new suspension rods.
How to replace a shock absorber (front-load washer)
The shock absorbers in a front-load washing machine provide support for the tub and absorb vibrations during the wash cycle. If your washer is making loud banging or rattling noises during the spin cycle, one or more shock absorbers may be worn out and need to be replaced.
- Remove the three screws holding the top in place.
- Push the top back slightly and lift it off the washing machine.
- Pull out the detergent dispenser drawer.
- Remove the two Torx screws beneath the drawer.
- Lift up the top of the control panel to release the locking tabs and unplug the control wiring.
- Remove the control panel retainer clip and set the panel aside.

- Tilt the washer slightly, remove the 2×4 block, remove the screws at the top of the front panel, and pull off the front panel.
- Find the locking tabs on the top and bottom of the old shock absorber. Release the tabs and detach the absorber.
- Fit the bottom of the new shock absorber into place and turn it clockwise to lock it in.
- Extend the shock and fit the top into the mounting bracket, again turning it clockwise to lock.
How to replace the drive belt (top-load washer)
The drive belt is a rubber piece that connects the electric motor to the gear case and tub. When the motor spins, the drive belt rotates the gearcase pulley, which moves the basket or agitator depending on what mode the pulley clutch is shifted to.

- Find the belt cover on the bottom of the washer, behind the front panel.
- Remove the two screws holding the belt cover.

- Clean the area where the old belt was as needed. Make sure there’s no debris or remnants of the old belt before you install the new belt. If you need to wipe it down, make sure the area is completely dry before proceeding.
- Drape the new belt over the motor pulley. Make sure it’s seated well in the groove.
- Stretch the belt around the gear case pulley by turning the pulley while holding tension on the belt. Make sure it’s seated in the gear case pulley groove.

How to replace the drain pump (front-load washer)
