AJK72909306 Genuine Suspension Assembly Pack of 4 for LG Top Load Washing Machines, Tub Suspension Rod Set

Genuine LG suspension assembly AJK72909306 comes as a pack of four, enough to change every corner in one job. On LG top load washers the tub hangs from four suspension rods, each with a damper at its lower end to absorb movement. LG makes several versions of these rods, so check that your old ones carry the AJK72909306 number, or that your LG parts list shows it, before ordering.

Signs the suspension in an LG top loader is worn

The suspension rods hold the outer tub level and absorb the swing that comes from wet washing moving around during agitation and spin. When the damping wears out, the tub knocks against the cabinet, the machine thumps and shakes, and the control often pauses spin with an unbalanced load warning. Washing may come out soaking because spin never reaches full speed. A tub that sits lower on one side, or bounces more than once when pressed down, also points to tired suspension.

• Pack of 4 suspension assemblies
• Replaces all four corners in one job

Fitting new suspension rods

Unplug the washer and turn off both taps. Raise the top panel to reach the rod hooks at the cabinet corners. Lift each rod out of its corner seat and release the lower end from the tub. Replace one rod at a time so the tub stays supported. Use all four new rods together rather than mixing old and new, then run a spin with a medium load.

Questions about this part

Why are there four rods in the pack?

A top load tub hangs from all four corners, and the rods wear together. Fitting a full set keeps the tub balanced and stops a single worn rod from causing knocking again. AJK72909306 supplies all four in one pack.
