H0030813660 Genuine Suspension Rod for Haier 8kg and 9kg Washing Machines, Top Load Washer Tub Suspension Rod

Part H0030813660 is a genuine Haier suspension rod for 8kg and 9kg washing machines. The rods hold the outer tub and soak up the movement as the drum spins up to speed. When one wears out, the washer gets noisy and starts thumping on spin. Check your machine is an 8kg or 9kg Haier and match the part number with the parts list or the old rod before you order.

Haier washer banging on spin and worn suspension rods

Top load washers hang the tub assembly from suspension rods, one at each corner. Each rod has a damper that absorbs the swing as the load spins. Once a damper wears out or a rod breaks, the tub moves far more than it should. Typical signs are loud thumping on spin, the tub knocking against the cabinet, repeated unbalance errors or the machine stopping mid-spin, and a drum that sits low or tilts to one side when empty. Regular heavy or uneven loads wear the rods out sooner.

Replacing the suspension rods

Switch the washer off at the wall, turn off the taps and disconnect the hoses. Lift the top panel to reach the rods. The tub is heavy, so support it while you unhook the old rod. Some models use different front and rear rods, so check your parts list. Run a spin with a light load afterwards and check the tub sits level and settles quickly.

Questions about this part

How many suspension rods does my washer need?

Top loaders normally use four rods, one at each corner. If one has failed, the others are usually worn as well, so most repairers replace all four. Some models use different front and rear rods, so check the numbers before ordering.
