424390 Genuine Suspension Bracket Wear Pad for Fisher & Paykel Top Load Washing Machines, Washer Suspension Wear Pad

This small genuine Fisher & Paykel part, 424390, is the wear pad for the suspension bracket on F&P top load washers. It's the sort of part that quietly wears out and lets a machine get noisy, so it's worth replacing when you're already working on the suspension. No models are listed for it, so check the number against your parts diagram, or contact us with your model and serial number for confirmation.

Washer knocking or noisy on spin? Check the suspension

Top load washers hang their bowl on a suspension system that soaks up movement during the wash and spin. A wear pad on the suspension bracket gives the moving parts a smooth surface to bear against, instead of hard plastic or metal rubbing together. As the pad wears through, you might hear squeaking, creaking or knocking, notice the bowl sitting off centre, or see the machine move more than usual during spin. Worn pads often show up alongside tired suspension rods, so inspect them together.

Replacing the wear pad

Unplug the washer and turn off the taps. Lift the top deck or tilt the cabinet as your model requires to reach the suspension brackets. Look closely at how the old pad is located before removing it, clean the bracket, and fit the new pad so it sits flat and secure. If the suspension rods look worn too, now is the time to replace them. Spin an empty load to check the noise has gone.
