AJK72909314 Genuine 4 Piece Suspension Assembly Kit for LG Top Load Washing Machines, Replacement Washer Tub Rods

This genuine LG kit, AJK72909314, holds four suspension assemblies, the full set an LG top loader uses to hang and steady its tub. It is a separate part from AJK72909306, and the two shouldn't be treated as interchangeable, since LG matches rods to particular models. We don't have models on file for AJK72909314, so read the number on your old rods or your LG parts list before buying.

What the suspension rods do in an LG top load washer

Each rod links a top corner of the cabinet to the outer tub, with a spring and damper at the bottom to cushion movement. Together they keep the tub centred while it fills, agitates and spins. Worn assemblies let the tub swing wide, so you hear banging on spin, see the top of the machine shake, or find it stopping to rebalance again and again. Scuff marks inside the cabinet where the tub has been hitting, or a drum that looks tilted at rest, are other giveaways.

Changing the suspension kit

Switch off at the wall, unplug the washer and close the taps. Swing up the top console or lid assembly to see the rod heads at each corner. Note any colour marking or length difference on the old rods, and match the new ones to the same corners. Change one rod at a time, check none are twisted, and test with a small balanced load first.
