4055786125 Genuine Suspension Rod Kit Red Set of 4 for Electrolux Group Top Load Washing Machines, Tub Suspension Rods

This genuine Electrolux kit, part 4055786125, contains four red suspension rods for a top load washing machine. The rods hang the tub from the top corners of the cabinet and dampen its movement during the spin. Rod colours mark different versions, so match the colour of the rods already in your machine as well as the part number. There's no model list on file for this kit, so check your old rods before ordering.

Top loader banging on spin? Worn suspension rods are a common cause

A top loader's tub is suspended on four rods, each with a spring and damper at the bottom. Together they let the tub move during the wash and soak up vibration as the spin speeds up. As the dampers wear, the tub swings further and further. You'll notice loud banging against the cabinet, a machine that walks across the floor, repeated off balance stops or a tub that sits low or lopsided when empty. Changing all four at once keeps the tub level and the damping even.

Changing the suspension rods

Unplug the washer and turn off both taps. Lift the top panel or lid assembly to reach the rod hangers in the corners, and look at how each rod hooks into the cabinet and the tub before removing it. A helper to lift the tub slightly makes the job easier. Fit one rod at a time so the tub stays supported, then run an empty spin to check it runs quietly.

Questions about this part

Do I need to replace all four rods?

Yes, that's the usual advice. Rods wear at a similar rate, and mixing new rods with old ones leaves the tub unevenly damped. This kit has all four red rods in it.
