LG Top Load Washer: Replacing Suspension Rods to Fix Balance Issues
Had a call about an LG top-load washer that was having major balance problems during spin cycles. The washer was vibrating a lot and making loud noises. After a quick inspection, I found that the suspension rods were worn out and needed replacement.
The Problem
The washer was struggling with balance, causing it to shake and make a lot of noise during the spin cycle. After checking, it turned out that the suspension rods were damaged, which is a common issue in these models.
The Fix
I carefully disassembled the washer and removed the old suspension rods. Then, I installed the new ones, making sure they were positioned correctly and securely. I also double-checked everything to ensure there were no loose parts.
The Result
Once the new suspension rods were in place, the washer was running smoothly again. No more shaking or noise—everything was back to normal. Another quick fix that made a big difference!
