Product Description
The Maytag Suspension Rod Kit – MVWC565FW1 is a genuine OEM repair solution that restores the suspension system of your washer. When the original suspension rods are worn, stretched or broken, your machine may exhibit excessive movement, loud banging during spin cycles, or frequent imbalance messages. Replacing the complete suspension rod kit returns the tub to its designed support and ensures smoother, quieter operation.

Common Causes
- Tub dual-suspension system wear leading to “floating” tub effect.

Symptoms & Installation Guide
Signs & Symptoms
- Washer vibrates excessively or the tub moves visibly during spin.
- Loud banging or “thumping” sounds during high-speed spin.
- Washer cabinet hits floor or moves, especially during the drain/spin phase.
- Imbalance error (e.g., “UE” error code) on the control panel.
- Tub seems to “float” or bounce when door is opened or machine idle.
Installation Guide
- Unplug the washer from power supply and turn off water inlet (if required) for safety.
- Tilt or pull the washer away from the wall and remove the appropriate panel (top/back or front) to access suspension rods.
- Remove old suspension rods: typically by releasing mounting at tub and chassis. Note orientation for correct replacement.
- Clean mounting points and inspect for damage to surrounding parts (e.g., shock assemblies, springs).
- Install the new suspension rod kit: mount rods into bushings/suspension balls, secure to tub and chassis in original positions.
- Re-assemble panels and level the washer (adjust feet if needed).
- Run a test cycle (empty or light load) checking for smooth spin, minimal vibration, and no abnormal noises.
- Monitor a full load cycle to ensure the tub remains stable and the machine completes without imbalance faults.
