This gentleman is the Bob Ross of appliance repair. I learned how to repair a washer and was relaxed while doing so.
They share the same hair too :P
I was thinking the exact same thing!
A happy little spring.... I didn't realize until you said so.
Yes!!!😆👏
He doesn't make mistakes only happy accidents 😉.
An extra tip for those trying this: if you're struggling to pull the new rods up into place, you can use the hook of the old rods to grab them and pull them upward through the mounting holes. Once they're in place you just unhook them again. I found that this was much easier than having to reach down into the machine where I didn't have much leverage.
Also avoids scratching your arm.
My husband & I were ready to give up until we read your comment (I'm 67 & he's 74 so we don't have a lot of strength). This tip helped us and saved on us calling a repairman! Thank you!
Thanks. This helps alot!
Can’t thank You enough. Single mom in a rental, washer came off one suspension rod Monday before thanksgiving. I was able to get the top off and reset it myself. Might have used some colorful language, but I got it. Thank You so much!!
Thank you for this video! I am a sixty-year old woman and fixed my own washing machine by watching this! Totally empowering!
It not only saved me a lot of money, it also kept me from having a repairman in the house during the pandemic.
You guys saved us hundreds dollars on a repair guy or brand new washer! We just moved into our house in November, and of course, the washer we inherited keeps going off balance even if we just try to wash a few things, or else it stops and refills over and over, taking laundry hours to get done, and then sometimes it's still just sopping wet. Spin cycles sounds like helicopters trying to land in 'Nam. We started thinking that right off the bat, we're going to have to spend 100s of dollars on a new washer but then I decided to look up the symptoms and found this video. My husband and I decided we had nothing to lose by giving this fix a try, and bad suspension rods seemed like the probable culprit. We installed the replacement kit in about 45 minutes and since then, our washer is working like new! For fun, I tried a load with a heavy blanket and towels and it worked like a dream! Thank you, appliance part pros!
Glad we were able to help you fix your appliance. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
Ours is doing the exact same thing too, even on the drum cleaning cycles, when nothing is in it. Having my husband double check our model number so we can get a kit ordered. Looks simple enough for me to do myself🙂
With your excellent instructions (easy to understand, slow and clear communication) any WOMAN is up to trying this herself!!! Thank you for sharing this with all of us!😊💋💪
look at those fancy pliers...
I was trippin on those too! Want.
Thank you for this video and for such quick shipping of the required parts. This video was extremely easy to follow and for a person who overthinks things, this left nothing unclear. Thank so much! God bless you!
I was all stressed out when I heard a Bag and the tub was at an angle,
watched your Video and fixed the problem without any problems! Thanks!
I followed your instructions and replaced the springs The washer works great again. I'm a handicapped senior and a vet and If a guy like me can do it Heck anyone can. Thanks for the information and the knowhow.
What was the problem you were having?
We did a test run using some king sized sheets and some towels and I don't EVER recall the washed spinning so quietly. Thank you for the EXCELLENT repair video.
I dozed off. Lol
I just installed new Suspension Rods on my Maytag, and this video is worth its weight in gold!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!
Thanks for saving me $250 in repairs! Great video!
Thank you so much for the instruction video! I am a 57 year old woman and was able to install the suspension rods without any help and have my Roper back in service in a little over an hour. My only tips would be to definitely WEAR GLOVES and maybe have a block of wood or someone to hold up the washer tub while putting the new rods into the placement cups.That metal is so sharp that you don't even know your cut til you see blood all over the place and the tub is a bit heavier than I could lift with one hand. Other than those two things, anyone could do this installation and save hundreds of dollars on a repairman or new washer. Total cost, $41.00 which includes the springs which were not a part of this washing machine.
Exactly! If you’re trying to do this yourself, the tub is REALLY heavy. Thanks for the suggestion on the block of wood. I might have to resort to that because it’s MUCH harder than it appears.
Thanks for this video. Three screws removed from the back, top slid forward and in less than ten minutes the rod was back in place. Whew!!! And thanks again.
Fantastic video. I changed out my springs with ease because of this video. My washer is working great now! Thank you!
extremely helpful video. Thanks! Next time I'll watch your videos first and order parts from you.
So me an my son's jst watch your video step by step.. Now I'm jst waiting for the spin cycle
Update!! Work perfectly thanks
Really well done tutorial. Bravo!
If your model of washer has slots in the bottom retainers, you don't have to lay the machine onto its back. You can remove and replace the rods by accessing from the top only. I went through the hassle of laying the machine down in my small laundry room, only to find out that it was unnecessary. The washer model in this vide doesn't have the slots so the only way to remove the rods is through the bottom of the machine.
Agreed. Ones with the slots are less aggravating to change.
I watched this video, found OEM replacement parts on Amazon for $41, and was able to follow the steps in the video to install them. It took longer than30 minutes, but I was never lost. Thanks!
Can you share the link to buy them?
Worked like a champ. These instructions were very helpful. I did need some help holding the top from falling back, lifting the rod, and putting the little corner piece back on. It wasn't hard, but I just needed another couple hands. Also, my old rods and springs seemed to be fine and intact when I removed them, but the new ones keep the drum from the violent spin cycle from before. Thank you!
Thanks Matt & APP, I did this today, little struggle to get the rear hooks in place and I needed a hand to get the bearings set while holding up the tub, but I did it and saved a bunch of cash in the process. Thank you!
I see the MayTag and Whirlpool are the same! Thanks for the video. When I push the tub down on my Maytag Centennial it bounces up and down five or six times wildly. Replaced the suspension rod kit today and it completely fixed the bouncer. Thanks again for the video.
Well, the parts arrived. Got the OEM. It was a rough hour installing it. However, I'm 67 and in stage 4 COPD. You young guys won't have any trouble at all. One note of caution. When raising the washer back up after setting the rods in the bottom, raise the washer slowly so the front rods don't slip out the bottom. They are only being held in place by a small piece of plastic that can slip through the hole and come back out. Just ran a test cycle. It runs like the day I bought it seven years ago. Thank you Matt and Appliance Parts Pros. $65 and one hour vs $1500 replacement appliances.
Great video and replacement of suspension springs solved the violent shaking issue during the spin cycle, would like to add an answer to a question I had, "How do you know if the suspension springs are bad?". When you push down on the tub and it bounces up and down then the suspension springs are bad. Before replacement when pushing down on the tub one time until it came to a stop and then releasing the tub would bounce up and down 5 to 6 times. After replacement of the suspension springs the tub doesn't even bounce up and down 1 time.
This plus the bearing replacement saved the day once again. Thanks for such a helpful video.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. I installed them with help form my son. I would pull up on the suspension rod and he would place the plastic bearing. I struggled a bit since the new rods have so much tension. I used an old suspension rod hook to get leverage and pull the suspension rod through the hole. This actually made it easier. Although it was a bit challenging, your video was perfect plus it feels rewarding knowing that I installed them myself. Much appreciated.
This is something they need to warn people, it really takes two humans to get this done!!
Great video! My Amana did not have the inner metal lip to temporarily hang the new spring hooks on when the washer was on its side so it was difficult to pull the springs up high enough to slip on the new plastic parts. To resolve this I temporarily placed a short 2x4 under the tub/motor so the tub sat just a little bit higher. I was then able to pull the springs up high enough. I suggest wearing a long sleeve shirt when you replace the rods. I was wearing a short sleeve shirt and repeatedly sliced my forearms on all the metal edges and roughed up tub lip.
Thank you sir for posting this video you explained very very clearly I fix my
Wash machine in 45 minutes now it
Work very good. You saved me lot money. Again thank you.
You're welcome!
Great video, thank you!
I agree with Brian's comment- this is definitely a two-person job, though maybe depending on your washer model. Ours is a Maytag and the drum was HEAVY- even with two of us, getting the new rods seated properly was difficult.
The instructions are spot on though- thanks again!
Very good video! Thank you so much! You explained things very well and were easy to understand. I feel confident enough now to do this myself.
This video was on point! I followed it step by step and was finished in an hour! Parts were $35 compared to the $451 in parts and labor quoted by sears!!
Hpw did you know they needed changing? Were they physically broke? My washer is banging around on the spin cycle, but nothing looks broken...
@@splash5974 when the thing bangs around on spin the rods need replacing
@@rogerwhiting9310
No, i ended up tearing it apart and figuring out the problem. There is a nut below the agitator that kept backing off. I ordered a new one and washer has been flawless ever since. The rods and all other components looked fine, hence why i didnt want to change them. And im glsd i didnt throw money at it doing so...
@@splash5974 never had that happen. The suspension rods look perfect when they are bad. You replace by symptom.
@@rogerwhiting9310
Ya, i noticed the nut was loosening up every week or so. So i tried tightening it a few times but symptoms persisted. I put a brand new tub nut on and its perfect! So im kind of glad i started there first. Cause i had already priced out 4 suspension rods and was gonna order them up.
Hey pal, how much do you want to do my neck surgery. I've never seen such clean, smooth work. You gave me the confidence to do my washer.
Thanks. It was a quick 15 minute fix. Just had to wait for the parts to come in.
Thanks so much for your video.
Thanks this video was a great help everything is working great now. No more banging washer and it only cost me $72
Instructions were amazing. Everything was to the point. Made fixing my washer a breeze.
I love this man! In a very platonic way but still. I'd buy you a beer, too. $50 in parts and my washer is back in business!
Thanks for this video, just performed this repair in our washer. Very helpful information 👍
Nicely done video at a good pace. Thank you for educating us to do our own repairs.
Wow what a clear and concise DIY video. I followed it every step of the way and my washer works absolutely amazing. No more shaking and banging. Even made a side hustle fixing a friends...thanks very much for the tutorial 👌
I wish these videos would show the washer doing what ever it is that's wrong with it before the fix it would help alot.
Guildenstein foutch unbalanced load
Guildenstein foutch it will dance across the floor when in spin mode, it sounds like there’s a dead body in it while spinning
not easy as you made it look..but finally did it..thanks for the video and help..washing machine purring normally now.. :)
This was awesome....the only difference was my washing machine was nasty....I ordered the parts from you guys & they fit perfectly....THANK YOU!
I'll pop the lid from time to time just to clean that gunk. It can start to smell stale.
GREAT video! I completed mine yesterday and the only thing I will add is, "GREASE all bushings"! If you don't grease them you will have a real noisy washing machine.
Thanks now I can put the parts in I ordered from you. You saved me a least $200
Just replaced my four springs you gave Gray information. Very easy to do. Thanks 🫡
You are very welcome!
Thank you for this video! it made the diagnoses and repair so much easier and saved me hundreds of dollars!
Yeah, he definitely had help putting those rods back in. Someone's lifting up on that tub. Man I wish I had that tub help😅
If there is anything we can help you with please let us know.
08/25/2021 ok folks this videos is truly a blessing. Here’s what I had to do on my Maytag. Follow everything he does but at the end I used the old hooks the thread my new hangers into the new bushings. I used the hook end to pull the new one through and attach. Hopes this helps. 9/26/21 update. This did not fix my washer so I went to Lowes and bought a new one.
WOW awsome this is exacally what i have to do to my machine this vidieo is spot on step by step this will make it so much easier to do thank you guys
I saw several ov these videos about changing these suspension rods to keep washer tub from banging around but after changing out in March and it started doing again and had never worked like it should, I finally saw a video where the problem could also be linked to the agitator. I am glad I didn't buy replacemant parts from ApplianceParts Pro. I did replace suspension rods, inner tub ring which was broken again from banging and the agitator which needed changing do to splines being worn. Problem fixed.
Excelent Job my friend,congratulations, Im Ronald Suárez ,im from Colombian.good look
Perfect video! Going to order rods!
Awesome instructions took me about an hour start to finish!
Glad you were able to complete your repair. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
BEAUTIFLY explained, thank you.
I just did this repair today. Thank you so much for this video!! Problem solved.
What problem were you having?
@@2derekjeter2 my washer was making it half way across the garage, during a cycle.
It'd just bounce it's way over (due to shot suspension rods)
The washer is still running great today (and not running away) lol
Excellent instructions on how to remove and replace so machine can get after it another ten or so years.
Great, dead on point thanks you made it easy !
Thank you so much for helping me. I ordered the parts and it it went just like you said. Thanks you so much. I got the parts from another site,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, sorry but when I got them you had a better way and more efficient way of installing the parts...... not talking smack about the other guy but your way was easy.
Thank you Bob Ross for demonstration. You made easy for me
Huge thanks! I replaced mine and all is well!
very good explanation thanks.
Thanks for a great instructional video
The Best video ever. Thanks so much. You saved me a bunch
Thank you so much for this video!

Thanks for DIY it helps us a lot. Awesome 👌 👏 👍
Thank you so much for this video .. great job 👍
Awesome! Great Teacher!
This was a great help. Thank You.
Have a Maytag mvwc565fwo top loading washer that is making a load knocking noise. I noticed when I move the tub assembly side to side it makes the noise and also a groaning noise. Have not opened it up but assume this is the problem? I was able to eliminate the noise just by lubricating around the top area of the suspension mount. I'm going to try that and see if that solves the problem. Nothing appears to be broken.
Great video and commentary to replace the rods bearings and springs. My Maytag top load washer that’s eleven years old and had just started having violent shaking and banging. Worked great for a couple loads then started the same thing again. Help. What could it be now. Wife is on me to get another one. Well I’m living on fixed income so I’m trying to fix it. But if it is going to be a lot of money to fix it then I’ll get out the lowes card and try to get something else.
Great video. Moves along nicely, with great camera work. Could see everything being done as it was expalined. Just wish my laundry area was a clean as the video's. Bought a Whirlpool used for $140. Wondered why it was shaking so lately.
I just performed this repair and appreciate the video. It is, however, much easier to do it only from the top. You can insert a long screwdriver, broomstick or board to release the tabs on the lower balljoint socket, and remove the suspension arm from the top. There is another video that demonstrates this. Thanks!
Can you share the link to the video you found?
We just replace the suspension rods in our Maytag Bravos washer mvwx655dw1 & the washer is still bouncing/dancing around & going out of balance. It does this with no clothes in it. Any advice on what we could check or replace?
Great video.... many thanks for this how to.... I have replaced the springs already, as they were missing already. While installing the springs I noticed that all four the rods were actually bowed. This might explain why even with the springs in place, the basket still goes out of balance. Can you confirm that the rods need to be straight and this is not a modified design. If so can the rods just be straightened and reinstalled or will the problem arise again? Thanks again... Aloha
Is it possible to have a Whirlpool top-loader with what seem to be the original suspension rods, but without helper springs? I don't see any on mine, even after changing out the suspension rods.
Thanks for the real DIY video man! The water in the drain plug made a mess and getting the top lifted off got caught in those tabs both got me too (complete with wet towel). I am ordering my rods today. I wanted to make sure I needed and buy the correct parts before ordering. Your suspension rods still working well?
Great guide.
Thank you
Great video
What a great video! Is it the same technique for a maytag bravo xl?
This is a great video …. Except ideas on how to accomplish putting new rods in the bearings trying to hold up a HEAVY drum. For those of us who don’t do this every day, trying to pull this kind of weight straight up is really hard. Maybe consider some tricks to help women and some men manage this. I’m now on hour #2 trying to manage the swap out and I’ve only got one done because it’s just too heavy to
Pull the rod back up through the hole at the corner. If anyone has a trick they’d like to share on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Same here, I can’t pull the rod up with one hand and turn the cup with the other- feels like it’s superglued on!
Yes this is a BIG problem with this video....
thank u, is simplify and well explain. a important detail, is heavy as ....
Exelente video saludos desde veraguas panama
How can you tell you need new suspension rods? The ones you replaced look "good"... if i checked mine out would there be obvious signs of wear & tear?
I think you need to replace these if the drum bangs the sides when it's spinning.
I replaced them with much trepidation. When i removed the old parts i didn't see any discernable damage/ wear & tear... but skeptically moved forward.... and it worked!
@@yehoshuab5903 It feels good when you fix something, even though there are many other things you'd rather do. I'll be doing this job this weekend. I'm very thankful for CZcams.
I replaced mine and it was obvious there was wear and tear. This was a great video.
Thank you sooo much for this video
Thanks Matt!
my question is about the small, plastic, cupped sleeve. Doss it get pushed through the hole too or does it stay on bottom bushing?
It was not really addressed.
Looks like you left it on bottom but video and my old one looked like its higher up, other side of hole.
Any info would be great!
I have a maytag Centennial top washer...how do i k ow if this exactl rod would fit.
This is not as easy as the video appears to make it. My Bravos has a tub that must weigh 60+ pounds and you really need two people to lift the weight in each corner in order to get the spring high enough to se into the plastic clips.
Exactly, beware.
Lol i just fixed this the other day. You really can do this solo. I agree it has a bit of weight but with decent strength its doable
This is my experience however with enough man-muscle and a non-slip rag/glove, it can be done. I recommend 2 people.
Thank you very much, happy wife, happy life :)
Appreciate the video whats the name of those pliers you used to remove the water hoses? Thanks
Does it matter which way the rod hook faces?
Thanks ❤❤❤Thanks for the info.❤❤❤
You are welcome. If there is anything we can help you with in the future please let us know.
Found a permanent fix. When you get your springs out and pop the caps open. Just put super glue and baking soda on the sponge and place cap back together. Works great and keeps going strong for years
Great video!
Awesome video... matched model perfectly.
