【ALLOY UPGRADED】W10780045 WTW4816FW2 NTW4516FW2 NTW4605EW0 NTW4516FW1 WTW4800BQ1 Washer Suspension Rods Kit 4 Pcs by Beaquicy-Washer Parts for Whirlpool Kenmore Suspension Rods RTW4516FW1,11020102310

Easy to install, works great so far. Washer is no longer beating and banging.

Have a Whirlpool WTW4800B01 and in order to replace the suspension rods, the machine needs to be laid on its back in order to replace. For the plastic holders where the rod is secured to, they were too big to fit into the hole so I ended up using the original pieces. No big deal but want to point that out for my washer model. After the install, did a bounce test on the tub and nice and firm.

The product quality was phenomenal and incredibly durable. Although it was not compatible with our model I can say confidently that repair using this product would be great.

I was concerned when I saw the rods were slightly longer than the OEM. I watched multiple videos on the correct way to install them. What I learned is you replace them one rod at a time and if you put a 6 inch high stack of 2x4s underneath the basket, you don’t have to hold it up while you hook the rods through the frame. That will dramatically simplified the repair. They seem to be very high-quality. The sole exception is the replacement bushings didn’t fit like the originals. . Fortunately, I saved the OEM bushings, and they worked perfectly with these replacement rods. We’ll see if they have the same durability of the OEM parts. So far a washing machine regain the stability and no longer bangs loudly on the frame.

Scared me at first, Longer Rod, Socket too large for top hole. Have to leave old socket in the top, The Retainer is much thicker, which accommodates the Longer Rod. Works fine, they need to have correct Socket, and would be perfect. Would only be an issue if old socket was cracked or broken. Left arm above is old one, you can see it is shorter, but retainer is thicker. Also can see old socket fits in smaller hole. Works Perfect. 1) Remove Power, Hoses, and screws in back joining top and bottom. 2) Tape Lid Closed, pull Top forward, lift up, jiggle a little(the lid,Silly), till it lifts up. 3) grab a front rod about 8" down with good pliers or vice grips, lift up, remove retainer, release rod down. Do 2 front ones first, Don't release all 4 at once. 4) Tilt Machine forward, remove 2 Front Rods, insert new rods. Put back upright. 5) Grab Rod down low so you can pull through high enough to attach Retainer. 6) Do same for Rear. 7) Secure top, attach hoses, power, and drain. Tub shouldn't bounch like it did before(push down on center of tub to check bouncing) They won't(shouldn't bounce with the new ones) 4)

The rod is good quality. At first I ordered the wrong size and the seller easily replaced with the smaller size I needed. If you lift the lid on your Amana washer at the base of the lid is your model/serial number. The rod was perfect, packaged arrived nicely, however, the two plastic fittings that go inside top of washer where the rod hooks, the cup that fits into the washer lid would not go deep enough to latch the cup into place. I resorted to my original plastic parts that were intact and I am fine with that. How I know what was wrong with washer I found a video online that said if you can press down on the agitator and if it bounces like a ball these rods are where to start first (I made sure the machine was level before ordering parts). The replacement was easy. I'm 61 year old female, followed the video instructions, and got the job done. If you can't get in the floor a few times up and down I'd get some help. The washer has to be tilted over alot and then lie in the floor underneath washer. Good hand strength is required to grab hold of the rod inside the washer to lift the tub up to secure the rod hook. To lift washer lid remove the 2 or 3 screws (depends on model) to release the lid from the top base of washer, pull the lid forward from front of washer then lift slightly then push the lid back to release the lid. If the plastic replacements would have worked I would have given 5 stars. I'm giving 4.5 because of the ease in ability to replace my product. If I had not found this video on how to lift the lid, i'm sure I would have taken the back of my washer off with no point of return. Have a blessed day !

I have an Amana NTW4605EW0 and this was the option with the best reviews / cost for replacement suspension rods. The new rods are a little different from the original ones and are slightly longer by maybe half an inch to an inch, and the socket pieces are differently shaped. The bottom socket piece that is supposed to fit into the washer frame itself does not fit, so I only used the top piece and it seems to work ok. If your original bottom socket pieces are broken, these new ones would require some cutting/carving to work properly as they have little wing pieces that prevent them from sitting into the hole properly. As far as I can tell, the extra length does not seem to affect the operation, however I've only had them installed for a couple days, so I will return to this review after ample testing time. Overall I would say these are acceptable for the price, however if meeting the OEM standard is your goal, you will likely want to look at original parts. We'll see how these hold up, but for now my banging sound issue seems to be resolved.

My washer (a Roper) was a one machine percussion section. When stuff was washing it beat and banged and rocked. I would gyrate to the music and laugh while my wife freaked out and it reminded me of concerts I attended in the 70s. Okay. I decided to fix the washer, and found this by searching my model number and ordered. They aren't too awfully expensive. Were they easy to install? Find a Youtube and it was. Now it is very quiet and no more rock n roll. Now is it easy to pop the top of your washer and lay it over to get to the mounts? Youtube. But actually, removing and replacing these suspension rods was not hard. Only one part in the rod assembly was a let down and I reused the original piece (x4). The metal cabinet of the washer has a "depression" to take off stress of the rod socket (which was just fine) that this piece sits. The piece was different having a ring and lobes that did not fit. I reused the originals. I would re-engineer these suspension rods. a small cup that can deflect out through the mount (of the washer drum) and let the washer 'rock out'. They're made of Delrin type stuff. Maybe a metal disk could reinforce it. So they lost a star for what I consider a weakness in design by Roper/ and these replacements.

Super facile à changer, plus robuste et plus longue que ceux d'origine.

son aproximadamente 5 cm mas largas que las que lleva mi lavadora, sin embargo ha funcionado muy bien, ya no hace el movimiento exagerado de un lado a otro la tina. Hasta el momento, va por su segunda vida la lavadora.

It works I changed then myself very easy and it works
