What a failing suspension assembly does to an LG washer

Suspension assemblies carry the weight of the tub, the water and the wet washing. Inside each one a spring and damper slow the tub down when it swings, which keeps it off the cabinet walls. When the damping wears out, spin cycles get loud, the washer thumps or shakes, the lid area may rattle and the machine can stop to rebalance over and over. A tub that sags or tilts with the lid up is another clue. Left too long, a bad rod can let the tub knock into other parts inside the cabinet.

Fitting tips for LG suspension rods

Disconnect power at the wall and turn off the taps. Lift the lid and top panel, then unhook the old rod from the cabinet corner and the tub bracket. Look at any colour marking on the rods you are keeping so the set stays matched. Once the new rod is in, spin an empty load and listen for knocking.

Questions about this part

Is 4902FA1953Q the same as 4902FA1953M?

They share a base number but carry different suffix letters, and the M version is listed as a blue rod. Order the exact suffix printed on your old rod or shown in your LG parts list, as the spring and damper rating can differ between versions.
