So I replaced my suspension rods and after a few months the banging came back. I tried different methods to secure the tub, but the banging kept happening. After watching this video I see there are springs that can be put on the rods. I never had those on my kenmore machine I've looked to see if they broke off and nothing was there. I made my own suspension rod supports. I used some black tie down straps with the silver hooks that flatbed truckers use. What I did was put one on the back right side, I hooked it to the tub post then looped it twice around the rod ran it along side of the tub, and hooked to a opening on the machine in the front. On the left front side I did the same thing, but hooked it to a rear opening. The machine doesn't bang violently anymore, and it is more secure than it was before. I breathed new life in this 8 years old machine.
Don't make the same mistake I did and get the cheap off brand of suspension rods they don't work. The problem wasn't fixed until I bought the more expensive rods.
My Amana washer looks JUST like your washer. Several makes just have different brand name on it. I replaced those shock absorber rods, and it kinda worked for a day or 2. But another procedure must be followed to RECALIBRATE the balance. This is done by FIRST setting the washer to DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE. Set the dial to the 12 oclock position. Wait a few seconds.. Then do the following within 6 seconds: ROTATE CYCLE SELECTOR KNOB COUNTERCLOCKWISE ONE OR MORE CLICKS....ROTATE RIGHT ONE CLICK & BACK.... AGAIN ROTATE RIGHT ONE CLICK & BACK.... AGAIN ROTATE RIGHT ONE CLICK & BACK.... then rotate LEFT one click & back... then rotate RIGHT one click & back. If you did it correct, then all the green status indicators will blink on & off every half second. NOW you are in diagnostic mode. To enter the CALIBRATE mode... simply click the selector knob one click at a time until you have ONE GREEN LED lit up in the middle. (Ignore the RED LED). When the middle LED (rinse) is lit up, and the 2 to each side are NOT lit.... THAT is calibration mode. Tub must be empty of water and clothes so it calibrates correctly. Simply press the START button and it will take a couple minutes to calibrate the spinning of the tub... You will hear the motor start and stop... and other clicks and noises. Wait patiently until it finishes and wait after 5 minutes the machine will return to NORMAL mode with all LED's not lit. Now wash a load and it will not bang and shake any more. This information is printed on the SERVICE MANUAL located INSIDE THE WASHER on the front panel. see page 3 and 4.
Hey Dan , i had a question if i may,i have a old Kenmore and the difference between most peoples washers and mine is that they have banging continuosly,mine only does it once on the spin cycle but buddy, it bangs hard enough to turn it sideways, not completely but a good way,i rebuilt this washer completely about 4 years ago, i even replaced that triangular piece with the bearings (it wasn't cheap) HOWEVER for some dumb reason i never replaced the tub springs, they are like 40 years old, could that be it? thank you so much for your time.
Yes, the springs on the rods got stretched. Not sure about any other methods but a repairman would have charged 2 x for the parts and a hefty service and per hour charge. We actually had a home warranty and the people they sent out were lousy and didn’t know what they were doing. They replaced a number of other parts with no success so my wife told them to leave.
This may seem like a stupid question, but I gotta take a crack at fixing my Kenmore washer.. it started by just being off balanced every so often, to every load.. until one of the suspension rods finally snapped. My Question : Are there certain models of suspension rods I should get? When I look on Amazon there are multiple kinds that pop up under Kenmore. My washer is EXACTLY like this one. I'm going to use your video as a guide.. but trying to purchase the rods without knowing the difference (or if there is a difference) complicates things for me. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Is there a specific make or model for the rods to this or any washers? Thank you so very much!
I believe I searched Kenmore washer parts and the correct site popped up. I then inputted the model number and it gave me the correct parts to order. On another note, the parts arrived and somehow got damaged and bent in the mail. I sent a pic to them and they were very nice and immediately sent me another set.

That loud banging can be so annoying, I’m glad you found a cheap or free solution and didn’t have to replace the unit or call someone.
how long were the bungee straps?
@@rodolforios1057 a couple of feet maybe
Do you have any picture of it by chance.

You make it look so simple, Dan!

How much did you spend?

Thank You,I sometimes get bored easily while watching others videos so I try to make mine quick and to the point.

Repack the Suspension rod Buffers with Dow Corning 111. It's what stops this crap when new.

Yes my friend, I believe it could possibly be the springs. I checked on the Kenmore website and purchased the suspension kit. No more banging. 😸
@@dansvideovault2186 Thank you much, yeah i'm gonna get those springs
What's the song you used in the video it's so beautiful 😭
I’ll let you know when we get back home from vacation my friend
@@dansvideovault2186 sure man. Enjoy your vacation.
So what wears out on the suspension rods.... do the springs get weak ? Any way to replace the springs only it would be so much cheaper ?
Yes, the springs on the rods got stretched. Not sure about any other methods but a repairman would have charged 2 x for the parts and a hefty service and per hour charge. We actually had a home warranty and the people they sent out were lousy and didn’t know what they were doing. They replaced a number of other parts with no success so my wife told them to leave.
@@dansvideovault2186 Sorry to hear about the poor service. I have ordered new suspension rods... thanks for the video !
Hey chill, nice video brotha. How you been? Long time no talk.
Thanks, I hope you found it helpful.Not doing to much, just tryin to throw some fresh new material out there. Hope you’re doing good.
I have a kenmore elite oasis washer that started shaking and banging i replaced the suspension rods and the problem is still there any suggestions
There is the plastic ring at the top of the tub, it could be that too

Thank you so much! I'll try that now
Do you have the part number?
I do not have the part number my friend, but I got on the Kenmore authorized replacement parts website and they had exactly what I needed.
You never showed how others was damaged
@@gingerr8459 Sorry. The rods were only slightly bend
Is it possible to only replace the springs?
Thats a good question,the only replacement rods I found already had the springs attached.
What kenmore model is your washer?
Hi, It is model number 110.5072011
