4055786141 Genuine Suspension Rod Kit 2 x GR and 2 x Red for Electrolux Group Top Load Washing Machines, Mixed Set of 4

Some top load washers use two different rod types, and part 4055786141 covers that with a mixed genuine Electrolux kit. It holds four suspension rods, two red and two marked GR. The colours identify different rod versions, so each new rod needs to go in the corner where the old rod of the same colour came from. With no model list on file, compare the colours and ends on your current rods first.

When to replace the suspension rods in a top load washer

The rods are the only thing holding the tub in a top loader, and they also control how much it moves. Worn dampers let the tub bounce and swing, especially as the spin builds. Common complaints are thumping on spin, the lid or cabinet getting knocked, off balance error stops and a machine that shuffles across the laundry floor. If the tub sits crooked or drops noticeably when you press down on one side, the rods are almost certainly worn.

• Mixed kit of four suspension rods
• Two red rods and two marked GR
• Fit each rod in the corner that had the same colour
• No model list on file, check your old rod colours

Getting the rods in the right corners

Disconnect power and water first. Before removing anything, note which corner each coloured rod came from, as a photo or a strip of tape on the cabinet works well. Swap one rod at a time so the tub never hangs on two. Once all four are in, check the tub sits level and run a short spin with no load to make sure it stays quiet.

Questions about this part

What does GR mean on this kit?

It is the colour code given for two of the four rods. It isn't spelled out further, so compare it with the markings on your old rods. If your rods don't show red and GR pairs, send your model number through the parts enquiry form and we will check.
