ROD KIT, SUSPENSION (KIT OF 4)

"An easy job to complete."

"Removed back cover, machine on its side, lift blocked bowl, 2 rods became loose, fitted 2, did same the other side."

"Put machine onto saw horses, remove back and unscrew top and use block of wood to hold apart. remove suspension arms one at a time and replace as going making sure of the different arms are going into the right place. after replacing refit all of the above."

"Remove rear access panel and top. then hanger access is easy"

"Remove two hex bolts on back of machine which secure the top of the machine. lift the rear of the top of the machine and push forward and the top will pop off. fold the top backwards exposing the drum and suspension rods. lift the front of the machine and prop it. grab one of the front suspensions rods lift up and release from top support. let the rod fall down and out of the drum support. replace with new. repeat for all four support rods rocking the machine forward when removingreplacing the rear supporting rods. the supporting rods with stiffer springs are for the rear of the drum as this is where the motor is."

"Remove and replace - ensure the two marked are put to the correct location of machine (front vs back)"

"The fitting instructions on your site were very helpful."

"For the rod kit susp(set 4) if you see carefully they are actually 2 pairs - sets of 2. the two pairs look almost identical except that the spring for one pair is actually shorter. and the spring of the other pair is 12 cm longer. when you install the pair with the longer spring shall go to the two back corners of the washing machine. the shorter spring pair shall go to the two front corners. this is not mentioned in the installation diagrams. i figured it out while removing the existing rods from the machine."
